Repression → Resilience - The Monocles

Beauty I know you’ve struggled

But don’t pass it on to others

Pass it over to me

A soul like yours doesn’t deserve tragedy

Don’t make it so

I learned what happened that made you firat hate

But those instances of violation got stowed away

Now I shall aspire for your strength

It’s been defined

I need your suffering

So I can understand

Otherwise I’m just another spoiled man

Who is as shallow as the floor

But needs the depth of the dirt, the river, and the sea

Because l have no beliefs

At least none that are firm enough for me to say that they belong to me

So give me your suffering

Then I can understand and you can have some relief (from the perils of me)
