Suddenly the world looks different
and through these eyes, it makes no sense.
Desperate, I pull my black pencil
from a drawer and darken my eyes
to death.
Suddenly the world sounds different
and through these ears, it makes no sense.
Desperate, I pull my black album
from a shelf and cover my ears
with death.
Suddenly the world feels different
and through these hands, it makes no sense.
Desperate, I pull my red paint
from a bottle and color my nails
with death.
You know who you are,
Do you remember you then?
Looking back in a mirror you shattered,
You punctured and broke,
Do you recognize the face?
Or have you burried it in the yard
along with the secrets of your blackened soul
and all other memories you've sent
to death?
You know who you are,
Do you understand them?
Looking at her from across the room,
Alone and weary,
Not quite in the moment,
Do you recognize the pain in her eyes?
Do you sympathize?
Or is she just another helpless shadow
with a wish
for death?
You know the sound of smiles,
It plays on your radio
and radiates your mornings till night.
Does the sound of something tragic scare you?
Does the sound of something sad alarm you?
Can you dance to a drum that's hollow,
a beat that's slow,
a voice that's dark?
Does the sound of gothic church bells please you,
or make you shiver in the thought
of death?
