Mud and Dark

Echo fell in love with the handsome Narcissus
Narcissus strongly to her liking
It was the nearest to perfection

"Is anyone here?"
"Here, here"
"Come! Come!"

"I will die before I give you power over me"

"I give you power over me"

All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves
(All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves)
Still repeating only what others have said
(Still repeating only what others have said)

Narcissus leaned over a clear pool
For a drink and fell hopelessly
In love with his own reflected image

Consumed by the futile
Of wanting to have his affection
In time, Narcissus slowly wasted away
And Echo cried, too mute to help him

All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves
(All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves)
Still repeating only what others have said
(Still repeating only what others have said)

And death eventually overtook him
As he said his final farewell, farewell to his own image
She repeated these same words to him

And Echo's pleasures always start over
And she bows down to starve to death
All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves

"Is anyone here?"
"Here, here"
"Come! Come!"
"I will die before I give you power over me"

"I give you power over me"

How do I feel about myself?
I try
I am resourceful
I contribute
I belong when I contribute

I don't have to be perfect
I'm accepting myself as I really am
I'm feeling love for my successes

Thank you for showing me respect (I think, "yes")
The foundation of my self respect ("I'm doing a fine job")

I think, "Yes...I'm doing a fine job."
I'm accepting myself as I really am
I'm feeling love for my successes
Thank you for showing me respect (I think, "yes")
The foundation of my self respect ("I'm doing a fine job.")
Thank you for your encouragement (I think,"yes")
For my efforts at improvement. ("I'm doing a fine job.")

I think "Yes...I'm doing a fine job."
Thank you for showing me respect (I think, "yes")
The foundation of my self respect ("I'm doing a fine job")
