I finally understand what all this is, how it was all possible.
Now I see, good lord, how we must look from out there.
Our addiction is evil.
The propensity for this evil lies in our weakness before it.
Kierkegaard was right - there is an awful precipice before us.
But he was wrong about the leap - there's a difference between jumping and being pushed.
You reach a point where you are forced to face your own needs,
and the fact that you can't terminate the situation settles on you with full force.
—— The Addiction (1995)
I awake in the night
No fright, no fear
No ghost is here
Silent is my cry
Then I see her face
Solemn in it's grace
On her knees, by my bed
Her hands, light on me
She lays down, with me
I fall asleep, again
And I awake, again
On my breast, the pain
I fall asleep, again
And I awake, again
On my breast, the pain
