Too broken for me, it ends up sounding really robotic in my head. I think having a singular word works really well when you are trying to put focus on that word, but for stuff like "a" and "of" I think it breaks it up too much. Like, "insomnia" is brilliant on its own, and "ire" - even "ached" but the rest I think needs to at least be in pairs.

I'm not so keen on "swift" being used - it isn't very sea-like.

Love the drowned lover image, not so sure about them being chased?
