Don't hurt yourself
I am hurting myself
I wasn't even aware
But the damage is done

Negatives of an old life
that wasn't a life at all
but the embryo and the egg
from which everything stems

I need you **** I do
but I lash at myself
and I hurt myself because
I think of you

This is hell
I've been through this
be patient
light wins

I need to snap out
this is not real
this is the devil
absorbing me

But how to snap out
that's where I am now
I need you, oh I do
can you love me
being this wretch
being this supernova
being this mess

Life is a battlefield
so dance! in the sweet intervals
