Disabled Songtext
von Electromancy

A recurring sense of grief
A passing of myself

Pushing my physical limits
To face daily life

Detached from my body
Dissociated, numb

My body keeps me safe from the physical pain of being
By turning off

Disability brings a repeated grief for oneself

There is no reason why
This is no one′s fault
There is nothing you could've done
This suffering just is
Again and again
Further


My frail body is the ultimate teacher
Stripped down to the core of myself
By grieving away the parts of me
I can hold no more

When you can no longer do the things you considered you
What are you now?
When you can do nothing,
What is your value?
Intrinsic and infinite

Yet we live in a world with a fetish for definition
You can only be
And that is beautiful
Full of awe
Powerful enough to crush any other notion

I am 29 years old
And I am prepared to be old,
Wise,
And next to death
