I fell ill against my will
And swallowed many a glass infused pill
To satiate my mundane brain
Feeling the wrath of the rain on the planes
It drove me mad, more than a little insane.
But it's ok, not that I ever was,
I begged and pleaded to be wiped out with a
Torrential flood
Yet the oceans ran dry at the plight for the
Unforgivable sin,
Could this 'ere be the sanest I've ever been?
Denying that which denied me first
Or have I been irrevocabley afflicted with
A neverending curse?
I see no purpose, no rhyme or reason
Yet I've been cast down to hell
For this here my treason.
Carrying the weight of the world
Upon my shoulder,
Life grew dimmer and my heart
So much colder.
I learned that God does not forgive,
Never did, never will
And that to swallow the bitter pills,
Is my dear friend what made me Ill.

We broke the world and now we’ll see
The wrath of nature’s revenge, violently.
Cities burn, towns flood.
We think we’re the owners?
We think we’re the good?
Billions of years before you and me, billions of years before our earliest ancestry. It was here spinning and here it will be when we’re a speck of its history, the speck that willingly burned the tree.
We broke the world and unforgivably we know how to fix it but greed rules humanity!
We broke the world. Nature waits patiently. To see us gone into its history. We broke the world.
We burned the tree.

The shards left of the mirror still defy me
While you stand shining beside me
Radiant, you're radiant and glorious
I lurk towards the shadows to hide me
But I steal a fragment of the mirror
The silver glass I love and despise
I sit all alone in the corner
And glare at my reflection with weeping eyes
I creep in the shadows that hide me
It seems a fitting word now, creep.
For while you smile in daytime and nighttime
I'm unforgivably rotten even in my sleep.
Would things be better if I stayed to myself?
Would it change if you left me alone?
No.
I'd still have the image of your perfection
Haunting my every nerve and bone

Love is not the absence of hate
It is the hand that weakens its grip
Even if the heart tells the soul:
"In its spell the wicked clothe themselves
with the brilliance of the pure,
So you must not trust love after all."
Love is not the end to a sadness
It is the scar that confesses its guilt before the mirror,
Even if the eyes refused to see
The truth that present itself so implacably
It absorbs the light and the darkness,
Unforgivably. (It recognizes its own monstrosity).

Three years and I am
movement ready,
on I realise.
But I can't
get it quite,
as I'm passed
the finishing need,
a traumatic reaction
of stress
assess-
ment.
Three years and I am
looking better:
fatter,
greyer,
with rotten teeth...
the premature wrinkle,
my war hero.
For smiling unforgivably.
