She was at the bottom of the Pit of Despair, And all the pretty living things turned black And grew into her hair.
Why don't you love me, Why don't you love me, Why don't you love me?
Her screams shattered everything, And brought down birds from crystal wings. And all of life would stop its song In reverence and submission, In observation of her cry.
In music there's a symbol like A shatter going through the lines And all through life, the fracture runs And from its fractal, beauty comes
But all I want to know is this: Before her cries, was life just bliss? And can eternal love exist?
It seems a thing we'd sorely miss.
