Parallel Insanity

I wake as your  friend                                     You wake as my lover

I speak as your lover                                       You speak as my friend

I act as your possession                                   You are my possesion

I rebel as your cover                                        A means to an end

I hurt for your compassion                             You live for my acceptance

I injure for your respect                                  Though it's never been withheld

I confide for your emotion                              You crave my direction

I give and you collect                                      Never will you rebel

 

This is madness                                               This is Sparta

This is insanity                                                This is the price of exellence

I can't be everything for you                          I am your everything

You can't be everything for me                     I am magnificence

You treat everyone the same                         I am fair and righteous

As a friend, yet as a lover                              And yet you seek more

And it's a cruel, cruel game                          Dare you grow capricious

From your twisted love, no one recovers     You'll become one I abhor

 

I am done                                                       You are confused

(I am never done)                                          And I will not calm you

I am sick                                                        *As I am amused*

(But I'm not tired)                                         As I drop little clues  

I will run                                                        You'll never leave me

(I won't run)                                                  But I'll abandon you

Because I love you                                        You'll always need me

(A better word is 'desire')                             And I'll never need you

Let me go!                                                    My grip is vice-like

(But you're not holding me)                       I'm not ready to let you go

Bring me back!                                            If I lose you, 'my dear'

(But I never left)                                          I must find yet another 'beau'

Love me only!                                             And I've not the time to put effort

(But you love equally)                               In little minions like you

Push me away!                                          I've not a care to give for

(Or bridge this rift)                                    You insects I never knew

 

Please, disappear                                       I am your torture

One day you'll understand                      But I am your salvation

That the twisted way you love                 I am your executioner

Could coax death from any human        And I am your redemption

Please, disappear!                                     You'll wish me dead forever

Though I'll weep when you're gone        You'll wish me dead I know

I know sanity will return                          And you'll wish yourself deader

And I'll eventually move on.                    When away I finally go.
