9 O'clock at night and your blood is already thin, and you're warm, and you're well, and you must not fall in love. The light is bright so you turn away from it, and your dark is home, it is not fear at all. Promise that you won't fall into it, swear that you aren't there right now. Promise that you won't fall into it, swear that you aren't home. Life in paraphrase. Are you at home? Are you not well to be received? Are you at home? Are you not well? And there's something wrong inside of you. And there's something blank inside of you. At peace with your condition, you're not wrong to want to feel alive.
