It's just me and my twin.
I leave it all up to him.
He ensures that we win.
Even when the memories slip in.
I let him overwrite them.
To be something more common.

He's the one I've swore to a creed.
He's the one too much has been said.
He's the one nobody else can see.
He's the one who wants to be me.

He's the one which I keep under lock and key.
He's the one to whom I pay a fee.
He's the one to whom I shamelessly fled.
He's the reason why I bleed.

He acts as my emotional support.
Without him I am nothing but hurt.
I feed him excitement with a godly rapport.
Plenty of times, we've been brought to court.

He restrains his appetite until he finds that delight.
It needs to be big, big enough to light up the night.

When I'm out alone in the sea with a memory that sinks deep.
He shows me I could be free by drowning the truth that continuously creeps.

He feeds on my sanity with thoughts of profanity.
He lives in depravity with an appetite for the savory.
He forces serenity wrapped in electricity.
He takes reality and adds a touch of ecstasy.

What we leave behind reminds me too much of back then.
This world isn't kind, it happens again & again.
I can't take the pressure, so I turn back to him.
He's the other half which keeps me human.

The distinction is non-existent.
My sanity, what did I do with it?
The maniacal laughter is persistent.
I think he made off with the other half of it.

The seeds are planted and made to breed.
We entered the realm of endless greed.
The pressure reminds us of our creed.
It's not in our blood to silently give heed.

Being confined in our time of crime.
Accentuates a strategy to refine our act as sublime.
Defined by the collapsing border.
A defense line built out of reach from the enclosing mortars.

The thrill is reveled in by him.
I just let go and give in.
The line stretches increasingly thin.
It's where the nightmares begin.

He is a zealous believer.
I am just a brainwashed follower.
He hacks as a dreamer.
I lack as a commoner.

I wonder how he exudes such courage.
While I'm cowering in storage.
I wonder where he accumulates his knowledge.
While I haven't even gone to college.

I need a break to unwind.
I can't be alone in my own mind.
I keep on degrading to my own kind.
There's always two to find.

He's the one I've swore to a creed.
He's the one too much has been said.
He's the one nobody else can see.
He's the one who wants to be me.

He's the one which I keep under lock and key.
He's the one to whom I pay a fee.
He's the one to whom I shamelessly fled.
He's the reason why I bleed.

I learned to concede to myself.
He was my number one steed.
In order to be freed from myself.
He answered every plea.
I abandoned myself.
I substituted the pain to his stead.
I found out I need myself.
Yet, I already forfeited ownership of my deed.

He's the one who took my face.
I'm the one who gave it away.
He's the one who took over my space.
I'm the one who's going to make him pay.

Hours on end, in circles I paced.
I can no longer pretend, this isn't my race.
Past achievements decayed from haste.
It's finally time, to reveal my true face.
