Hey there, don’t make a sound. you move too much. Just settle down. My God. He’s on the television. He feeds me dreams. He grants me vision. I know, my dear, that I must seem very little but I was made for bigger things. Just a little.
They could be right, I could be wrong there might be nothing to fear from the dark but there might be something.
I don’t ever want to feel broken. I don’t ever want to feel empty and soulless. There I am in the back with a knife in my hand and you over my shoulder. I don’t ever want to feel broken.
Come on now, let’s take a ride and I’ll let you live another night. My God. He’s on the television. He stays my hand; guides the incision. I know that you’re supposed to bleed just a little. So open up your heart to me, just a little.
Now I could be right I could be wrong there might be nothing to fear in the dark but there could be something.
Am I always going to be broken? Am I always going to be empty and soulless? There I am in the back with a knife in my hand and you over my shoulder. Am I always going to be broken?
Tell me I’m right tell me I’m wrong tell me there’s nothing to fear in the dark, tell me I’m here just tell me something. Just tell me now. Is there any point in me?
Now I’m never going to be broken. Now I’m never going to be empty and soulless. There I am in the back with a knife in my hands and you over my shoulder. Now I’m never going to be broken.
