I’d like to drown in bitter tearsWith you near me.To feel you grab hold tightAs you drown with me.To fear the unknownBut my pleasure in knowingTogetherI wouldn’t be alone.No helping handNo distant soundOnly I.You’d dare not complainAs I inflict painWho is insane?Am I the beauty?Am I the beast?Who loves the most?Who loves the least?I’d like to fall through icy airWith you there.I would save you from the dropBut then I die.The guilt on you would be too muchAnd you’d follow.Is it something we’d both regret tomorrow?Who is beauty?Who is beast?Am I alive?Am I deceased?We are beastWe are beautyWe are aliveWe have our duty.I never complainedWhen you’d inflict painFor I was insane.(1994)
