1,000 Black Nights lyrics
by MARINA
Rage is a place kept
permanently locked
Who will give me the
key to this city?
What ribbon of therapy
do I have to cut?
I am so out of touch
with its rough texture
I run my fingers along its
city walls and stall
as I consider trespassing.
I conjured it recently
So struck by its force
I saw stars from a
thousand black nights
A result of my neurons
pressing weeping black
wounds downdowndown
into my nervous system
just for them to seep out
in other ways
“Depression is anger turned inward”
Terrifying screams
surprisingly cut from
my own vocal cords
begin to reverberate
Like an AI version
of how it would sound
if I werе actually, genuinely
deeply enragеd
I am rageful
I have my reasons
but it doesn’t scare
me anymore
Because I know
rage is not forever
It passes
It has purpose
and to deny it
is to keep it alive
