Take aim at this paradoxical world
and pull the trigger without hesitation.

Once I felt the warmth of a falling tear,
I thought I understood what kindness was.
But why do I still continue to cause pain,
Giving birth to more hatred?

The pain creaks and groans, but the strength it's given me,
Will gently envelop the future someday.

Take aim at this paradoxical world,
and pull the trigger without hesitation.
Gently embracing this sadness,
covered in red tears...

Just as impulses ringing aloud,
changing to the sound of...
a new beginning.

A twisted noise fills my ears,
As a memory gnaws away inside my head,
But if I merely stand here, hoping for the best,
Not a single thing will change.

Even though my heart is beating, I can feel a certain flicker,
So before this faintly shining flame disappears...
I'll face the version of myself cowering in the past,
And let it loose without fear.

Believing in tomorrow and smashing through that door
That's been rusted shut...

Just as strained emotions
ripping through
a silent night.

Falling stars flash,
And the world is born again...
Once we see the curtains open upon the night sky...

Take aim at this paradoxical world
and pull the trigger without hesitation.
Gently embracing this sadness,
covered in red tears...

Just as impulses ringing aloud,
changing to the sound of...
a new beginning.

Is the line under
the signifier: a thing
not self-originating:

And the I that takes
a pleasure in watching
it identifies with the self
watching it happily identify

This representation of the
self in verbal and then
ideal form to be faster,

Faster, faster, because
Mommy is near and I have
wings and can ******
you with my bare hands

It's an understanding
in an unconventional way:
To say that the utterance
gives way to strength
I sense a pattern
