Narcissus

What are you looking at
I can't see it's very dark in here
You're bending over you're almost lying flat
Something shimmers and you stare

What are you looking at
I come closer but all I see is you
Back of your head front of your face
You're looking in looking out of a pool

Narcissus what is this
A pool of blood upon the floor
Close as a kiss you'll never miss
Your Echo as she's fading out the door

What are you listening for
It's a sound that only you can hear
Eyes like a slamming door
Shut me out shut yourself in with your fear

What are you fighting for
I come closer but all I see is you
With your weapons of war
then you dive to the floor
And you're down and you're in
and you're drowned in your pool

Narcissus what is this
A pool of blood upon the floor
You're leaning in close to your sin
You know it hurts but you want more
