"I'd rather sink than swim."
|
|
but I'd never take advice from *him*
|
|
no matter how charming are his wiles
|
|
no matter how shiny his eyes, or how he beguiles
|
|
|
|
but every day I stand on Darkness' shore
|
|
the void which entreats me to live for my own sake no more
|
|
and take up someone else's cross, no longer society's sore
|
|
|
|
"Don't you want to stop being alone?"
|
|
|
|
lost limbs, lost sight, voyeuristic clothes
|
|
family taking on countenances I'd rather have for my own
|
|
submission as a plaything to powerful men
|
|
no jaw to smile as I bring about my own end
|
|
|
|
but you pull me back, away from the mire
|
|
you who entreat me to place my own happiness higher
|
|
sing in the depths of the terror-filled night-
|
|
how I adore you, dear child of light!
