Lyrics

UNSEELIE SELF
Music & Lyrics: Alexander James Adams


All things come from Darkness,
Returning is their goal-
I hold this dark in times between,
Foundation of my soul-
Once I lit a candle but then I put it out-
Now what remains is Hate and Fear,
And ever lasting Doubt-

No words to romance Darkness,
No music to extol-
There’s nothing good about this place;
Being broken and un-whole-

No bravery will heal it,
No courage seems to mend-
My actions turn against me,
Intentions twist and bend-

My hands won’t grasp my self control,
Can’t open to receive-
They hold tight to my hate and fear,
In Darkness they believe-

The candle that in past burnt bright
Was never really me-
It kept me from my inner truth,
The one I “wished” to see-

But now, without that firelight,
There’s nothing left but ice-
Black and cold and dangerous,
With Darkness as it’s vice-

My inner truth; abused and bent-
Not gentle Fae or elf-
But hard and cruel,
And careless thought-
My dark Un-Seelie Self-

Yet in this bitter Darkness,
I will search once more to find
A tiny spark of inner fire
That might be left behind-
A little ember burning bright,
A glint upon a shelf,
A guiding flash of spirit’s light,
In my Un-Seelie self-
