A Spoonful of Darkness

A spoonful of darkness A mouthful of rain Small bits of misery And half a pound of pain In the evening I spit the poison in your soup In the morning I give my powers just to you The firedemon's crawling In the midnight stew Never heartless Love and darkness A well of exhaustion Naked and low I'm a tear in the lake The scrape in the bowl The fever... I'll take my sickness to the stars As a titan I will fight there on the fields of Mars Like Lazarus I will take my bed and hate again In desperation In desperation A spoonful of darkness A mouthful of rain Small bits of misery And half a pound of pain In the evening I spit the poison in your soup In the morning I give my powers just to you The firedemon's crawling In the midnight stew Never heartless Love and darkness A spoonful of darkness Splinters of joy Mountains of madness Too big to destroy Rivers of weakness Fragments of happiness Cups filled with sadness For an afraid little boy
