Facing Atlas from ICONOCLASTS by Anna von Hausswolff

I came to take you back to where you came from
But that’s not what you want
I fought so hard for you, for us, for our life here
But now you need to go
But now you need to go
The world is full of shit and full of evil
But there you stand
You looked at me and begged me for some mercy
But I, I couldn’t take your hand
So I came to take you back to where you came from
But you see, that’s not what I want

The foolish hope of great eternal beauty
This shit breaks my heart
Can’t we just run away
It’s no fun to stay
Can’t we just break free from ourselves?
Deep in my crumbled chest
Kindness was at rest
Your hand reached out and changed my soul
