You’re not supposed to look directly at the sunlight

So I’ll substitute it with lamplight and, knowing me

It’ll fuck with my sight regardless

My plight is slight, but it will fuck with my sight

Regardless

So I’ll commence, I’ll

Leave the lamp on all day and

All night, and it will be okay

Because it’s better to be like this

Than to be in the dark

Even though it’s just a lamp like all the others

It seems to have a preponderance amount of light

Which constantly leaves me in shadow

I don’t have electricity flowing through me

So how can I compete with that?

That spark,

That charge,

That perpetual glimmer that made trolls glimmer

I didn’t have it.

But the lamp did.

And it always would.

Because it was built that way;

I wasn’t

So point your light in another direction

At something that can reciprocate

Because I’m just a dull dead weight

No-one could possibly equate

Us
