bleary-eyed weathered and worn
sunburned somber and sore
and the idle fray of existence decays
with the silhouettes we left standing on the shore
from the ire we are to be reborn
when the calm that comes before the storm
gives way for a spell as the gale winds swell
and throw our bodies overboard
oh, the shame of every wasted day
and the dust of our dreams that remain here resonates
through our weary hearts
through our hallow bones
and weighs heavily on our souls
