[b][u]Jareth[/u][/b] Better them than me I'll just sit here quietly Alone in my head Talking with the dead This is how it must be There's no one to blame but me The fault is mine Though no one can tell me why But that's alright My suffering just might Make things easier for others Who no longer have mothers No fathers to love No guardian looking down from above They are alone just like me It was never just 'I' but 'we' This misery is ours but we do not share To blame me must be what's fair Perhaps if I suffer I can give them a buffer From whatever god we offended When the ritual was ended Though we are safe the night is not over Not for me: the withered clover The black spot on a ripened fruit A white sheet stained with soot No longer good but to be hidden away Locked in a drawer to always stay
