Iris

Let the light be less annoying
Don't expose me like this
I won't lose my way again
As long as it's dark enough to see

Welcome blindness, transparency
No system of harmony more accurate than this
Welcome bleakness, disconnection
No yearning stronger than the lust for self-preservation

Let it be only skin deep
Don't expect me to shine
I won't look too deep
As long as it's dark enough to see

Let distractions become illumination
Don't question what you see
I won't toy your patience
As long as it's dark enough to be

Forgotten, ignored, redundant, adored
Sedated, left instead, or induded, truly dead
