The black and cold reminds meOf all the distance we have crossedAnd if your darkness blinds meI could never be more lostBut I'm not the one who seeks your protectionI'm not the one to share the disguiseAnd I'm not the one who reeks of rejectionI'm not the one to tear the same way twiceYou push from the inside, smotheredYou push from the inside out, smotheredHave all your walls surround meThey're closing in they block my sightThe violence around meFound me when I could not fightBut I'm not the one to take your directionI'm not the one who wears the disguiseAnd I'm not the one to share your reflectionI'm not the one you break the same way twiceI will never winI will never win with youI read youI fear you round up no more than you knowI hate youI still do every time you let me go
