Bestial Burden

A thing without reflection
It sees itself only in shadow
It does not recognize its blankness
It can not recognize its darkness

And I look for my shadow
With a lamp in the daylight
And I’m looking for my shadow
And I realize I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I, I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here

I’m just hanging in the balance
Tethered by only a thin thread
Between a shadow and its source
Between this flesh and its form

And I look for my reflection
And I see in its fading flanks of flesh
And I look for my reflection
And I realize I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I, I, I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here

And a thing without reflection
Sees itself only in its shadows
It does not recognize its blankness
It can not recognize its darkness

And I reach out, to touch nothing
And I seek out to find nothing
And I lift my head up to nothing
And I realize I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here

And I reach out, to touch nothing
And I reach out, to touch nothing
And I reach out, to touch nothing
I don’t belong here
