Understand.

I'm hard to live with
by myself.
Constant torment
inside these walls.
One side is hot like hell,
the other side chill like death.
There's a person in the middle
whom I can't tell.
It's a split long ago.
Something to endure,
not knowing what.
The ship will sink,
nobody can hear the screams.
The horror of a brain
turned outside in.
Can't bear others' help.
They're making it worse.
Not understanding
the enemy is me.

Lament.

I'm not gonna make it, yo.
I'm not gonna make it.
Time is leaving me behind
and I really really hate it.

It's all my fault.
I'm weak & faithless.
Not brave nor wise.
The beast had me for toothpicks.

I'm tired & there's no path.
More than ever I need to jump.
It's live free or die,
there's no other life.

I'm sorry. I've been blind.

(I'm scared. I'm scared.
Am I insane or just stupid?
I'm in the wrong body with wrong mind
like an alien entity.)

Black sun.

In my mind, I'm a rich white man
cruising around not giving a damn.
In my mind, in my mind.

In my spirit, I'm an old witch
burning fat candles for kins' woes.
In my spirit, in my spirit.

In my soul, I'm a lost child
nothing to look for & nowhere to go.
In my soul, in my soul.

In my eyes, the black sun burns bright
I know I can't fight, I look to you instead.
In my eyes, in my eyes.
