Analysis of Myself Drifting
Hear my mind drift...
Drift in the emptiness...
Alone and broken...
Among hazy melodies...
Adrift in seas boundless...
Alone, I embrace thee...
Drawing the chaos into me...
Alone, I see broken dreams...
Adrift in melodies endless...
Without form or beginning...
Filling the broken emptiness...
Hear my mind drift.
