We all sit in a dark light,
A dark light where only man can see.
God with His angels look down upon us,
Saying, "Stop it, stop it. You're hurting me."
Then it's gone.
The image, the thought... all gone.
Like water going down the drain.
My mind is still wet, but...
There is no water left.
My thirst remains, though...
I want to drink again.
Do you hear me?
I want to drink again

I recently found out about another person living inside.
I recently found out that I change whenever you're around.
I recently found out that I have another person in here, too.
I recently found out, to find him, I must think of you.
I recently found out, that after you leave, my original self returns.
I recently found out, even though I am my original self, my original self has no originality, while I am my self, I am out of touch, but,
I recently found out, I don't care.
