The demons watch me from the shadows
My friends
The ones that terrorized me
When I could claim innocence
They gladly take my burden
Masochists
They don’t judge me for my sins
That I call justice
In the blue dark they’re all I can let near
With the water dripping
And the light flickering
The oxidizing brass rim gleaming
I needed everything to blur
But I couldn’t see my face
So why, then
Did I look like a monster?
