Hard to Keep
Take me to the edge of myself… What’s sanity?
What I see ain’t a decent reality
Lock me in darkness (in me!)… Track for light
Materialise knowledge by my sight
The blood in my veins is so warm
Taking you into an intimate storm
…You wonder how to reach my throat…
Who am I to confront faith?
Who am I to resist fate?
Who am I?…
…
Something’s changing
Revulsion’s inside
New body, new knowledge
New mind
What mind am I?…
…
Drunken colours
Passing in front of me
Deceiving images…
A man hanged on a tree
Two Suns in the sky…
What are these things to be?
Why life’s to slowly die?
…
Life is gone now
But confusion’s still in me
I don’t know where I lay
Or what are these things I see
Crawl… Crawl through me
Visions of an ended fate
Sacred by defeat
Myself’s too hard to keep
“Hard to Keep”
