lyrics
The horrors, the horrible things I have done
That define me, that find me on quiet nights
That thus design me
They come
In waves that sweep my mind into the darkness
Of full abandon
The urge to engage again
To bring about the end
To finally put to rest
Empathy or to strive for forgiveness
No forgiveness!
For me, for anything that I have done
Or succumbed to on silent nights
Beneath a decorative veneer of apathy
The further reaches of my mind
There is where you can find me
Sound asleep
A silent witness, gently dreaming
Not knowing the absence of self
Allows this darkness to envelop and deepen
In my dreams I see a beacon
That guides me along the night
Stones beneath the surface
They are writhing
Softening and clinging to me
Begging and pleading
Offering and reasoning
To see the light
But how can I see it beyond my blindness?
The light, it creates my blindness
The urge to engage again
To bring about the end
To finally put to rest
Empathy or to strive for forgiveness
The urge to erase again
To bring another ending
To silently put to rest
Empathy and give in to weakness
