symptom

Purer than white
Empty as shadow
Paint the roses red
Just to please the Queen.

(Please.
Please the Queen!)

Quicker than fast
Lost - as in gone
Run away from this accident
Desert this scene

(Leave me lonely
at this scene)

Feeling and touch
Are duller than pain
Nothing's taking over
You are my nicotine

(Now a distant
Spark and
Gleam...)
