The Event

Glory Box - Portishead


Stay by my side as my light grows dim
as my blood slows down and my nerves shatter with stabbing pain
as my heart grows weak
and the wheels of my being turn slowly.

Stay by my side
as my fragile body is racked by pain
which verges on truth
and manic time continues scattering dust
and furious life bursts out in flames.

Stay by my side
as I fade
so you can point to the end of my struggle
and the twilight of eternal days
at the low, dark edge of life.
