I Am Not Afraid |
«I am not afraid,» ze said |
«Of the non-believer within me |
No delight at the pain of my enemies |
No tears for any friends I have lost» |
«You are not alone,» I said |
It is a trial to keep my belief suspended |
I leave my violin unattended |
In a cab or a restaurant |
And then when ze started to sing |
Nobody could’ve called them crazy |
Open chord forever unchanging |
Holy eternal drone |
I’ll never have any children |
I’d bear them and eat them, my children |
I’m gonna change my body |
In the light and the shadow of suspicion |
I am no longer afraid |
The truth doesn’t terrify us, terrify us |
My salvation is found in discipline, in discipline |
I haven’t had a smoke in years |
But I will catch a drag if you are smoking |
They told me to chew on a toothpick |
They told me to take a deep breath |
What is better is to punch a wall |
To bin the boxes of your old love letters |
To be impassive to the words that could save you |
To need to see the world as ash |
And I’ll never have any children |
I would bear them and confuse them, my children |
And I’m not at all afraid of changing |
But I don’t know what good it would do me |
I am no longer afraid |
The truth doesn’t terrify us, terrify us |
My salvation is found in discipline, in discipline |
