lyrics
Friday 9th April:
Something haunts me. That night on the train-tracks, what was it that saved me? At the time I wanted to believe anything but the truth: ‘it’ saved me.
Now, ‘it’ is unhappy – I feel it, this sadness, as if it were my own. So open to these feelings now, after years of squashing them. We are in this together, ‘it’ and I, and ‘it’ has saved me, and I must repay the debt.
Perhaps it is madness, all of this. Perhaps I have dreamed an excuse to surrender to the void. So be it. I don’t care. So alone…
… and yet not alone, for I have my fate, my ‘it’, this seed inside me. Let it flourish now, let it take me. I will do what it wants of me.
