The Clown and the Light

Part I:

When the sun settled down
There came a happy clown
But as I captured all the light
In my palm, making him take fright
I watched and grinned
As his smile turned into a frown
Forgive me, I whispered
For I have sinned

The light, it's burning
In my fisted hand
Forgive me, I am just learning
How to make my iron stand
It will always be hard, the turning
But now that I am in command
I will never let it shine again

The light, its gleam is too bright
Won't let it set ablaze the perfect night
For in the dark is where I am
What many others strictly condemn
To be the source of lies and deceit
Don't you worry, I will shut you up
Stitches to seal your mouth
Please take a seat
Welcome to my secret club

Part II:

I watched you throw the light away
Now I will punish you, but it's okay
You don't need to learn a thing
Just ignore the tiny sting
The needle will not pain
But it will surely strain
Your mind to let me be a puppeteer
And I will teach you all about true fear
Without shedding a single tear

Part III:

The clown has lost his smile
Let's hope it lasts a while
Until the light may shine again
You be sure to wait 'till then
I'll sit here, carving lines
Into my blistered skin
Until my conscience combines
With the unforgiveness of my sin

The light bursts from my fist
Enters my mouth and forms a cyst
Boiling, frying my core
"That's it" I thought
But there was more
Shock-waves of light
Illuminating all so bright


Now, there is no remorse
Now.
I am the source
