Too late.
Maybe it's too late
Maybe I'm too far gone

Too swallowed by the darkness
Too deep in the Mariana Trench that is this dread
All around me Tar,
To ward off any hope that someone might pull me out
And 10,000 black butterflies to remind me that delicacy isn't a virtue
That beauty isn't timeless, and everything must decay.

Constant reminders,
Like the grandfather clock ticking in the back of your mind
Just loud enough to echo into the empty spaces left by the silence.
Loud enough to remind me that time always moves on.
