weeping may endure the night but joy comes in the morning
on days like this day when my emotions are at war
i do not want to be a god or a thing or a spirit
on this day i would like to be normal
i do not want to be in need of the shield of madness
i would like to try death and have it take me for once
hold your praises keep your adoration away from me
withdraw your sympathies and take my loneliness with you
i do not want to be born in Virgo
sentenced to die by Christmas
reborn in march as Easter
i would like to no longer have any need for breaking cycles
wandering spirits my ancestors and a burning chest
day & night all year round time stumbles around in my bloodline
pulling strings of muscles in my body
i would like to be at peace
I heard I heard I heard
them say my loneliness does not mean we are alone
let us go into God's house
with shouts of joy
So I can remove my name from their mouths
So I can remove myself.
