I want this night to end

And a new sap to unfold again

Carry me to safety

Or carry this pain away from me

I no longer have the strength to hope on my own

To expect more for myself

I feel my every feeling wither and expire

Even the sun itself can die because there is nothing left to warm

But dried thorns and fragmented bones

Beyond the sadness of the moment of our loss

Over and above sorrow and shock

My grief stretches itself beyond the hour of my death

My soul is caged

I am suffocating

Under the pile of dried thorns they left us

And how they made us feel about ourselves

My soul is caged

Longing for beauty

A starving creature

Trapped in the dark

A centenarian torment

And a millenarian strain

That your diversion won't conceal

The darkness redefines what is sacred

The heartache and the stigma for our understanding

The darkness redefines what is sacred
