Daffodil de Amaran

See her looking down at us
she's so much higher i cannot reach
her beauty dazzles me with its power
i try to pull at something deeper inside
but my hands reach out into cold emptiness
I'm falling down, world depraved, world so strange
i'm falling down into a world so strange
She smells of daffodils
beneath the surface a rotten stench
it spreads out all over her being
beneath that ivory skin a thousand worms
are feasting on all that is dead
The world outside seems so strange, i'm safe here
on my own i can face my fear
This body's bruised in many ways
cause your eyes burnt holes in its structure
i want to break free from this prison
i want to change these conditions, tear off the label
that you stitched so tightly to my skin
I'm a person
why won't you let me be a person
that's all that i am
