Iris - Burst

Let the light

Be less annoying

Don’t expose me like this

I won’t lose my way again

As long as it’s dark enough to see

Welcome blindness, transparency:

No system of harmony

More accurate than this

Welcome bleakness, disconnection:

No yearning stronger

Than the lust for self-preservation

Let it be only skin deep

Don’t expect me to shine

I won’t look too deep

As long as it’s dark enough to see

Let distractions become illumination

Don’t question what you see

I won’t toy your patience

As long as it’s dark enough to be

Forgotten, ignored, redundant, adored

Sedated, left instead, or induded, truly dead
