II

Things...

I tremble with no desire, I need nothing
In loss I discovered completion
In having things stolen I found that I had more than ever

In the absence of everything, I found all things
And I understood myself
So I understood nothing
So I stopped questioning
All things pass through me
I'm a tough boy, wild and innocent and dangerous as hell
I'm awake and awakening. I am here and I have died

I killed the parts of me that said that I know
I killed off all the parts that keep me awake
I'll die a thousand times to prove that I'm living
I'll kiss myself to prove that I'm not afraid of snakes
Nothing shakes me any more; I'm tough now, baby
Really, I have lost all feeling
And I've lost all desire for feeling
And I can't thank you enough
