You're present. Place. Time.                    
I'm living. Breathing. Alongside you.
We're fighting on the same side.
We're present. Not together. Not yet.
When? Will we be together longer? Is there time to grow, before the fight?
What is it to be one body, two souls?
Dying and broken in the blood bath?
Killing for the other.
Sustaining the Infinite mortal cycle of vengeance.
On the same team, still refusing our two to be one.
Spill it, reveal the truth. Black and white, death and life. Simple. Are you with or only next to me?
Is it really right to bleed as one,          
And have no traces of bond? Any? None.
Did you **** the enemy for fear of losing me -
    Or for fear of losing the battle?
Did I jab his heart because I needed a partner,              
Or because I wouldn't win the war without you?
It's all synonymous, this gray correlation between light and dark. You and me. Turned the other way,       Back to the start. I am blank.
Now when my heart bleeds, will yours concede,
Or will yours be free?

I am in such a state
That I am staying out late
I keep drinking tea
And I can’t get to sleep
My hairs out of place
And I am sure I will be late

I hate emotional attachment
It scares me
They grab my heart and ****** it

I feel out of control
And I get sad
Without them, I don't even feel whole

This burden is too much
I can't play these games
It's confusing and I misjudge

My love's the greatest thing I give
I hand it out so freely
But then they steal it and I can't live

I must step back in my life
And regain control of my heart
On my own, I can see the light

Right now, I'm in the dark
Overshadowed by the fake emotion
Take it back, I'd rather be apart

Nothing is worse
Than giving yourself
Wholeheartedly
And getting nothing in return
I think I'll stop now
And just feel the burn
I'll get over it eventually
And then I'll start to see
Who's actually there for me

When I was bad,
I mean young,
The summers in the city were
Mean hot,
Ran with the bad boys.
Not bad bad just teenage bad.

So the cops came and got us
Where we were hanging,
Took us down to the precinct,
Till around midnight.

Came home at one am,
My pop heard me come in.

Asked me where I'd been,
So I told him that I'd been arrested.

He thought for a second and said,
"Good. Now go to bed."

We never spoke of it again.

A thousand years later
I figured out why.

I had never seen my formal pop
In his underwear till that night,
And never saw him that way again.

He was more embarrassed than I.

Considered the matter closed and
My heart, full, finally, now.

The friends that you make
Are the friends that you find
The friends that you find
Are the friends that you break
