Ploughing the sea

An effort in misfortune instantly springs to mind
A hope preserved in glass seeking only false lies
Dreams will grow and die in the heads
Of all the advocates swept out to sea
This ocean of dreams will drown us all
Your stars will shine
Few souls stir in the land of success
Seeking but a moment of rest
Perhaps they were better off dead
For the demons of this failing cause
Come not to the damned
Rather to float in the anguished abyss
Than pray for merciful release
Bodies line the shore but your stars will always shine
Wrap me in tendrils and show me the deep
An exercise in failure condemned me
This dream was breakable
Your stars will shine, your stars will shine.
