The Vast Lyrics

Send "The Vast" ringtone to your cell

Something's quite not right

Again sleep escapes me far away

You're the whisper in the back of my head

Teething serrated and smiling

Knee-deep in this hopeless wreckage

A heartbreak

To tear me apart

Swallowed by the vast all-consuming

Demanding you here

This uncontrollable ****

A lightless abode

A sleepless complete black

Where ghosts come to me

Through every hole

In each and every wall

Wish i could just sleep

Wish i could explain

Wish i could change the way of things

Wish i would fall away

It's a slow closure

A cold shape crawling behind me

A storm approaching

A darkness always closer

I ever thought it could

Can never see it coming

The world i'm in is empty

Outside i think i choke

Somehow i can't help thinking

There is no place for me

(the noise in my head won't leave)

"all fled--all done

So lift me on the pyre

The feast is over

And the lamps expire."

[robert e. howard (1906-1936)]
