Regret lyrics

A self-soured soul

It has two shadows

The mortal cast upright, and

The shadow of regret is long

For woe, it has no end

Bitterness, clouds of the mind

A world of fear and envy

Greys mixing with green

Sickly and mistaken

Bathing in its salinity

Overtaken in its eddies

A vortex of sublimation

Engulfing all that venture near

Trapped in its malevelent torrent

Frantically flee from this maelstrom

For its momentum is inescapable

The light of day lives on

Look up to see the sun

A bowed head sees only shades

Missing the brilliance of wisdom

The mortal cast upright fallen

And regret passes on unnoticed

Scoop it up with your hand

And discover that it is empty
