Giving Up

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
Shapeless in the night that breathed us all
Staring at a void, living in another
Recalling past lives and lovers
Ignoring the present
Hearing whispers and promises

Formless are the memories that call us each into the darkness. They weave a pattern that no one can describe and yet they call us by name - begging us, pleading to us, reassuring us that everything will be right okay and safe if we simply return and follow and stay and believe.

Brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers
Huddled like animals in a rainstorm
Empty eyes revealing empty souls
Someone else is dreaming, now
Thinking of them
Hearing whispers and promises
