cocoon

The corpse I live in's too tired to fight
And my will has gone to sleep.
It's so cosy in this endless night
Lulled in the illusions I keep.

Babylon's curse is on outside;
My carcass is surrounded;
Bleached memories pierce inside
Of clashes I have never counted.

I wish you would let me fade
In the darkness whence I came;
Don't pull me out of the cocoon I made,
There's nothing worth the pain.

You put a mirror in my face,
The moment of truth in my eyes.
There's no me I can embrace
Naked with your shape carved in ice.

How I'd like to see you cry
Just to know that you can feel,
That in the human form you mystify
Abides a soul that needs to heal.
