|
My law insists |
|
The door is open to reflect the precise moment |
|
There is no mistake |
|
Shed this skin |
|
It is already buried |
|
But you carry the shadow |
|
Bury this skin |
|
You'll carry |
|
Someone so far |
|
Show them |
|
You are free |
|
They are called out in remnant |
|
The spirit open |
|
The door open |
|
You must walk through |
|
This is for you |
|
Everything is done |
|
You are most beloved |
|
And my way is made safe |
|
You need never doubt |
|
For I am my own |
|
I will always keep you safe |
|
I want this pain |
|
It's all I have left of you |
|
A darkened room |
|
I commune with you |
|
Yes, I have to have this pain |
|
No need to recover |
|
Or replace with another |
|
Yes, I want this pain |
|
I want this pain |
|
Shocking in its magnitude |
|
What you dared put me through |
|
Still I have to have this pain |
|
I did not survive without it |
|
As you threatened, kicked, clouted |
|
Yes, I have to have this pain |
|
Yes, I have to have this pain |
|
Not as a talisman, not as a reminder |
|
But as a scored edge against anything kinder |
|
Lest I lose my footing |
|
Lest the ground gives way |
|
Lest I find that tiny bird |
|
Who gave in and flew away |
|
Yes, I have to have this pain |
|
Yes, I have to have this pain |
|
I have to have this pain |
|
Yes, I have to have this pain |
|
Can you come and get me? |
|
Come quickly, don't forget me |
|
There's blood on the floor |
|
But not any more |
|
Please come and get me |
|
Please come and get me |
