I feel like two people living in one shell.
Sometimes the company is heaven, sometimes it's purely hell.
What can you do with thoughts of two rushing inside your head?
What can you do when thoughts of two drive you maddened into bed?

Where is her place in my life?
Which hand shall I use to grip the knife?
Can I cut her out of me?
If I do what hole will you see?

Can I grip my sword as she stands in her dress?
Can we make it together out of this mess?
Can I love my girl and still hold my own ground?
Will we destroy the peace we have finally found?

Fire and Water existing together,
Surely one will consume the other.
How can you balance a penny and a pound?
How can you fly when you're nailed to the ground?

I'm not sure what to do as we stand face to face.
I glare, she shrinks, no one talks, the night has been a waste.
~Slip into my skin dear warrior let me hold you near.~
"Slip into my skin Princess so you can hear them cheer."
~Lay down your blade and shield hold only an empty hand.~
"Pick up the bow and arrow, show them where you stand."
~Join me at the grand festival to celebrate the spring.~
"Join me at the bar to celebrate the slaughtering."
~Come with me from darkness to the light.~
"Leave the brightest day and join me in the night."

There is no middle ground, no common place to stand.
It seems we are doomed forever to roam the vast wasteland.
All other foes ignore me as I war within myself.
I know this can't be good for me, surely it's hazardous to my health.

~Give in.~ She whispers in my ear her breath warm and soft.
"Fight back!" My heart screams as I shake her off.
We stand apart yet bound together there's no where we can go.
The silent war keeps raging on and no one seems to know.
Someday I hope we'll learn to match each other stride for stride,
Someday I hope she'll be my ally not a thorn in my side…
