He shudders in his darkness. In the night,
Blind to an escape
My boy looks for the flickering light
That will save him from the rape.
Blind to an escape
He searches for a distraction
that will save him from the rape.
He stays far from the deadly attraction.
He searches for a distraction
To keep him on his toes.
He stays far from the deadly attraction
Before he is enclosed.
To keep him on his toes,
He chases the light in me
Before he is enclosed,
He sets his body free.
He chases the light in me,
But the seduction of the devil is winning
He sets his body free
Until his head is spinning
The seduction of the devil is winning
Yet it seems to be a tie
Until his head is spinning,
I keep the ocean dry
Yet, it seems, to be a tie
I must not let him sink.
I keep the ocean dry
But he’s drowning in his drink.
I must not let him sink,
But I’m sick of the heavy sea
He’s drowning in his drink
And I want him to be free.
I’m sick of the heavy sea,
So we climb in his dreary mind.
I want him to be free,
But a new bulb’s not easy to find.
We climb in his dreary mind,
My boy looks for the flickering light,
But a new bulb’s not easy to find,
He shudders in his darkness, in the night.
