A Tall White Fountain Played

There was a horizon bleeding out
In its sky, the shapes of collapsing stars
The burnout, the burning out, burn it down
Your remains consumed by all time and space

There was a horizon bleeding out
In its sky, the shapes of collapsing stars
The burnout, the burning out, burn it down
Your remains consumed by all time and space
There’s a burnout, burning out, burn it down
You can learn from this and change your ways
To a ticking, clicking shiny thing
In a test to compress your failure states

And it swallowed whole the feelings expressed
Until there was blood-black nothingness
And it swallowed whole the feelings expressеd
Until there was only blood-black nothingness

And it swallowеd whole the feelings expressed
Until there was blood-black nothingness
And it swallowed whole the feelings expressed
Until there was only blood-black nothingness

And it swallowed whole the feelings expressed
Until there was blood-black nothingness
And it swallowed whole the feelings expressed
Until there was only blood-black nothingness

And then I see everything
In a brighter light
Where I am free
To express it all
With poise and grace
Unlike before
If I could change
I’d be born anew
Be born a girl
Unmasked and true
Or I could be
Better realised
I would have the words
I would pass the tests
I’d learn to know
How to love myself
I will endure
I’m right here
