It catches up with you.

You cross the brambles
You search for Beatrice
You grow up like they told you to
But it catches up with you.

You found a masterpiece
And clung on
Still floater going nowhere
Without a stream to go down

You went down into the forest
You hid by the river
You replaced one sin with another
But it catches up with you.

You did as they said
But they didn't stay
They didn't call you down
And you're sad

You're still sad
You tried to be happy but
It already takes so much
Just to keep it together
And keep alive
And stop hating yourself
For not having the courage to die

If I was condemned for eternity
Wouldn't I just get used to the pain,
Oh Beatrice?
