Just angst wrapped in words, I suppose...hopefully, it transcends a single situation
I was walking one night to the river
when I heard your footsteps on the dock
I turned and saw you call me thither
so I followed as you went behind a rock.

I searched for your dimly-lit form
but we were lost in the fog
I knew i'd never find you in the coming storm
so I sat down on a rotted log.

Wrapped up in discord, my ears are defunct
I used to want this, now it's just getting me funked
Wrapped up in discord, my senses are reeling
your soul is entwined with another on my ceiling.

The storm ripped right through me
And when it was over I stood alone
Your non-existent ears couldn't hear my plea
I was so disoriented, I couldn't find my way home.

I wandered the dismal, cloudy shores
looking for a clue of your existence
Hard to look when lies escape from my pores
Excessive and blinding, yet my only subsistence.

Wrapped up in discord, I don't know where you are
From what i've gathered, you sure have gone far
Wrapped up in discord, i'm just playing a lonely tune
If it didn't remind me of someone, i'd serenade the moon.

I came to a house, all scattered and in pieces
After pausing a second, I sat in the middle
The sun and moon made a full rotation, stars as their nieces
And when the new day dawned, I hadn't solved the riddle.

So I turned from the beach and faced toward the city
Lights flickering warmly in the cold winter night
I met a sea-crab, who told me I didn't have time to be pithy
He said I should just keep walking and forget about sight.

Wrapped up in discord, all meanings converging
While travelling the beach i've seen one too many mornings
Wrapped up in discord, the story's not over
Just the night, now's the time to rest in the clover.
