Daffodil

See her looking down at us
 She's so much higher I cannot reach
 Her beauty dazzles me with it's power
 I try to pull at something deeper inside
 But my hands reach out into cold emptiness
 I'm falling down, world depraved, world so strange
 I'm falling down into a world so strange
 She smells of daffodils
 Beneath the surface a rotten stench
 It spreads out all over her being
 Beneath that ivory skin a thousand worms
 Are feasting on all that is dead
 The world outside seems so strange, I'm safe here
 On my own I can face my fear
 This body's bruised in many ways
 Cause your eyes burnt holes in it's structure
 I want to break free from this prison
 I want to change these conditions, tear off the label
 That you stitched so tightly to my skin
 I'm a person
 Why won't you let me be a person
 That's all that I am
