Backlighting Lyrics by D Dommarco

the unbearable lightness

0

I exist, I'm alive, or at least i’m kinda breathing
And I've got no new day's sheathing
For this ugly hollow feeling to disguise
And I don’t really mind this time
Up to now I've been throwing and wasting my entire fucking stupid life

So this time I won't go back home at night and my mind
The more that I engage in it the more that I am mortified
So tell me why am I supposed to avoid
A troubled cure for a useless troubled fucking stupid mind?

Oh my!, I'm bubbling up inside and I got tired
Of waiting for the dawn to bring the sunlight to my night
And melt the ice and cure me of this pain that keeps my lungs tight

I cry inside and that's fine, so I tear my flesh
To draw my soul backlighting
Like a praying atheist choking in weight
Singing to embrace this light being
And take leave of this mundane earthly frame
Of absence, same old sadness
I better pack up and run away again
And switch off the loudness of these visions I still find in fondness
And just forget that you were once my best friend

In through dusk I hide from lantern lights
Love the stars when shooting from your eyes

I tear my flesh to draw my soul backlighting
I'm a praying atheist choking in weight
I sing to embrace this light being
I'm just trying to make myself not care
