It’s only a question of means and an intent to survive
What you’re given is without limit – but it comes at a cost:
Each body comes to bear inscription, each one inscribes
Don’t talk about victimization because a victim knows its worth
And no Joseph – your voice will not be heard
These acts of darkness betray unspoken desires
Imitation is all – as you require
To face the onslaught of night as the first few stars appear
That room is not your own, as this declaration makes clear
The alcove of night as the first few stars appear
This room is not your own, this declaration makes it clear
