A Thorn of Wisdom Songtext
von My Dying Bride

There′s dark here, dark enough
And just the pain (pain), the pain you love (you love)
Your reflection (your reflection) is a dying me (is a dying me)
Use it well (use it well) and flee from me (and flee from me)
You hide your hair (you hide your hair) from victims (from victims)
And stoop to drink (and stoop to drink) straight from them (straight from them)
I know my heart (I know my heart) flows away from thee (flows away from thee)
And wounded tears (and wounded tears) come crashing down (come crashing down)


I sometimes enjoy (enjoy) solitude (solitude)
Inspecting (inspecting) her shame (her shame) keeps me amused
Leave the world (the world) and pain to me
And keep your soul (your soul) far from sleep (far from sleep)
And ghost (ghost) turned (turned) against ghost
I lay for you (for you) and I was choked
The cost to me (me) being more (more)
So much more (much more) than I could bestow
I sometimes (sometimes) enjoy (enjoy) solitude (solitude)
