[00:01.41]“You cannot defeat the darkness, you can only be the light” fuck that
[00:06.26]At the core of night, I couldn’t imagine anything I’d like less than to be the light
[00:10.71]And in this I mean literal darkness, literal light and literal night
[00:14.47]Why would I want to?
[00:16.66]I liked you like I like the dark
[00:20.95]In it, I feel my body in a different way
[00:23.32]Because like when my body was with yours
[00:26.35]In the dark, my body doesn’t end at my finger tips
[00:28.99]Instead bleeding out into a space I can’t calculate the mass of but that I know is massive
[00:35.00]I am a giant in these spaces
[00:36.96]I am more than a giant
[00:38.37]I am limitless
[00:39.68]We are limitless
[00:44.35]Darkness is an infinite container
[00:48.37]I am a gas seeking to fill its volume or dissipate to harmlessness within it
[00:53.99]Let myself be absorbed into something I am also an agent of until it and I are both malleable
[01:02.90]Next, darkness is the backseat of my dead best friend’s sister’s car
[01:07.50]And every potentially stubbed toe or missed step on the staircase
[01:11.81]Are the bobbing headlights that haunt your parent’s neighborhood
[01:15.02]Coming into focus through the fog
[01:17.45]Slowly bouncing towards us like specters while we lay silently in cover
[01:21.99]Save for the percussion of our hearts and the exuberance of our lungs
[01:27.84]And every soft carpet fiber
[01:30.20]Every safely navigated hallway taking me deeper into dark is your charged touch sending jolts of current waltzing through my muscles
[01:38.66]Is your breathy way of saying my name
[01:52.19]After the hallway I stumble to my bed, isn’t this exciting?
[01:57.31]Feeling out into a comfortable unknown
[01:59.35]I can float out into the dark until I've reached land again
[02:03.16]If there’s land to be had
[02:04.91]If there isn’t, that’s fine
[02:07.73]I feel safer now floating out into the precipice
[02:12.17]I liked you like I like the dark, why would I aim to defeat it?
