Angel Interlude - 100 Miles, Arouse

Nightmares and dreams stack high on top of each other

Blood and Joy scream at each other until they break

Insults and intimacy fall off a glass table and violently shatter on the ground

Lies and love hold each other closer until they are one and the same

Life and death stare me down until I’m dumb and left alone with my thoughts

It all speaks to me at once and nothing is intelligible

What I see is repulsive

And I can’t stop thinking about it

I must hate it

I must hate all of it

But I can’t

I can’t make any sense of it, but it’s all me

I need to trust myself or my life is already over

Nobody else is going to move my life forward but me

So I accept all of it

I accept you
