Show Yourself

11/6/01

Reveal yourself to me
Tell me who you are,
Tell me it’ll be alright
Tuck me in tight tonight

Come to me
In this world, this cyclone
Of putrid shit and energizing dreams
Reveal yourself to me

You slide between the night
And the mist of the morning
You are the morning Venus
Revealing yourself to me

You’re in everyone
But only in yourself
You are the smell of newfound hopes
Revealed in my pain

You are the white in the black, the old in the child
The love in the jaded, the pain in the crucified
The motor of my life, the light in my soul
You are my inadequacy, revealed in the mirror

Stop
Show me my dreams
Or banish these futile hopes
That you will reveal yourself to me.
