The Black Flame - Impure Wilhelmina

Destroy the real

Distort the truth

Save myself

I was a thief

Cut my own hand

I was a man

Too scared to take care of myself

Too scared to even suffer

Too old to become someone else

But too young to count the days

So I stay at home

In sadness and grace

My heart full of shame

Awaiting the tears

Awaiting the tears

Awaiting the black flame

Too scared to take care of myself

Too scared for self-compassion

Too old to become someone else

But too young to be a bitter dying man

Darkness came in

It swallowed my home

But the black flame went out

Was already burned out

Already burned out
