and to survive this, you need to sleep long, you need to sleep sound
sleep deep, see your own within the haven of your eyelids
remember dreams of angels blowing black balloons for you
you say there's beauty in a scar
i find it sick, but it's a part of me i've long ago accepted
now what a stupid thing you are
sometimes
as you watch it
you draw your lips closer
and with all tenderness you can find
you slide your fingertips over its surface
not to make it hurt
- to understand better
feel like your own
give it warmth, give it cold
whatever it needs
now isn't it sick
drawn to each other for every stain
when you see beauty there
but without taking any pleasure
and asking yourself:
where are the lost rites
and when you've opened so much
that it's made every rib in your chest break
for a land that's hidden it had no sky
and thrown you into an airless void
the ill-mended bones, you know
you need to break them again, by yourself
so you run
straight into this wall
so you run fast
onto the pain of salvation
