Woke you from the soundest sleep, promised not to hurt you. Stole you in the dead of night, promised not to hurt you. We built a little fire and let it burn. We never hesitate, you never learn. Never remember. Keep us alive. Pain is progress, that dreadful symmetry. By god, what have we done? Six. Six. It is what it is. Run. Run. I'll bisect you. I'll cut you into twain. Woke you from the soundest sleep, promised not to hurt you. I lied. I lied. I told you what you needed to hear. You should cover your eyes.
