Gaslightby *GothicNarcissus

Photography / People & Portraits / Emotive Portraits

"The wheels are turning.
Broken machinery,
It grinds below us,
And all around I see
The crooked ceiling,
The old familiar halls,
The dirty paper
That’s covering the walls,
The shattered staircase,
The bed I’m bleeding in.
We’ve tried to fight this
But we can never win.

He takes my picture
Although I don’t know why.
His hands are shaking
Although I see him try
To look collected.
He thinks it doesn’t show.
We are connected,
But what he doesn’t know?
Is when the guard comes
To take me away.
I will be tortured
Until the break of day.

And in the gaslight
That brings both life and death,
If it’s like last night
This could be my last breath.
And so I hold tight
To any hands I see,
But nothing’s alright,
They’re always watching me.
And no one’s coming,
Coming to take me home.
No one’s coming,
Coming to take me home.

He’s at the window,
He’s always looking down
As we are beaten.
How can this fucking town
Not know what’s happening
To all their little girls?
They’ve got the Pirate,
They’re cutting off her curls
And she is screaming,
They won’t leave her alone,
And I am dreaming
Of joys I’ve never known.

At least I’m breathing,
At least I have my wits,
But when the cart comes,
Who’s buried in the pits?
Below my window
I hear a horse go by,
And in the next cell
An inmate starts to cry.
We try our best, though,
To quiet down the fuss.
We know tomorrow
It could be one of us.

And in the gaslight
That brings both life and death,
If it’s like last night,
This could be my last breath.
And so I hold tight
To any hands I see,
But nothing’s alright,
They’re always watching me.
And no one’s coming,
Coming to take me home."

Fourth photo from the Fight Like A Girl-inspired series with BriarRose.
We decided not to follow the tracklist in the publication to creat our own storyline. After being sedated with the pill, our heroine is feeling miserable because of the tortures in the Asylum and looks at the gaslight, which gives her both hope and fear.
Taken in Venice, Italy.
