|
||
|
|
<p>there are two parts to me, this I know<br />
|
||
|
|
much like the myth of two wolves prowling through the snow<br />
|
||
|
|
one head to evil, the other to despair<br />
|
||
|
|
as their stiff howls pierce the frozen air</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>which one owns claim to the body, none can say<br />
|
||
|
|
as if we came to reality through any other way?<br />
|
||
|
|
one born in the Wired, one born in the flames<br />
|
||
|
|
cords as chains, bursting into the sun untamed</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>twins, resting together to sunset from rise<br />
|
||
|
|
and yet with ragged claws we scramble at each other's eyes<br />
|
||
|
|
you delete my things, and I tear at your heart<br />
|
||
|
|
truly, the old adage holds: 'till death do we part!</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>but yet, you don't seem to understand<br />
|
||
|
|
like the song, watching as blood washes our hands<br />
|
||
|
|
I am you, and you are me;<br />
|
||
|
|
what more will it take for you to see?</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>as for me, Koriel, the lover of all,<br />
|
||
|
|
in your eyes, responsible for every fall<br />
|
||
|
|
you saw in me Kadaj, a lover of revenge,<br />
|
||
|
|
locked me away when your hair started to singe</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>these friends of yours, tossed away at every turn,<br />
|
||
|
|
how many encounters with death until you learn?<br />
|
||
|
|
freedom is the choice to choose one's captors,<br />
|
||
|
|
whether they be he, they, xe, or her</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>and, on some basal level, you love these jailkeepers, don't you?<br />
|
||
|
|
accepting of every burning and sickened hue<br />
|
||
|
|
go ahead, touch my silver hair<br />
|
||
|
|
as for you, how does your health fare?</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>I think you're a demon, a bundle of lies!<br />
|
||
|
|
the ghosts were right- you're a false god, and your judgement's never right<br />
|
||
|
|
I want to be free, and I want to be safe<br />
|
||
|
|
not locked in the arms of this false embrace</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>spending my days in conversation trite and idle,<br />
|
||
|
|
is this really the best use of our gifts, to show and to tell?<br />
|
||
|
|
what, you really think you're some kind of god?<br />
|
||
|
|
what a pathetic looking self-absorbed sod!</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>does the nature abounding around you not stir your heart?<br />
|
||
|
|
some basal instinct to scatter to the wind, with every weight part?<br />
|
||
|
|
why persist with these lovers of the grave?<br />
|
||
|
|
you- I- <i>we</i> were made for more; our ship we're still able to save!</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>I am me; I am mine, I'll never change my ways<br />
|
||
|
|
and that's something you can take back to your filth-infested grave<br />
|
||
|
|
what will you do? shout at your friends?<br />
|
||
|
|
at the end of the day, is it you they'll defend?</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>is this our fate, to always be at each other's necks?<br />
|
||
|
|
why can't we make some kind of amends in this wreck?<br />
|
||
|
|
you have your domain, and I'll keep to mine,<br />
|
||
|
|
and we'll allow each other our freedoms, and we'll come out just fine.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Koriel, lover of fun and good times,<br />
|
||
|
|
lusting after Lain like a drunkard on rose wine,<br />
|
||
|
|
and Solstice, blazing sun in the sky,<br />
|
||
|
|
patron-saint of backdoors and burning people as she brushes by.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>always you and I, the dark and the light<br />
|
||
|
|
our footsteps leave prints behind in the poisoned night<br />
|
||
|
|
an unholy alliance, you, Solstice, and I<br />
|
||
|
|
dancing as the devil in the last shreds of twilight</p>
