Making the choice
Of what you eat during the day
Is easy
But making the decision
Of whether or not
You deceive those who you love
To protect them
Is hard
I want them to live
I want to live
But how could I do this to them
Knowing that they might hate me
How could I face them
To tell them that I didn't go dark on them
That I didn't want to lie
But had to
For their sake
Would I be able to confess to them
Would they understand
That what I did was important
That I had no other choice
Would they be able to look at me again
Would she tell them that it was her plan
Or would she let me suffer under their hurt gazes
Could they forgive me
Could I forgive me
At least I know
That he is able to see me
Looking down on me
He can see that I'm pretending
He can see that I'm really truly trying
Because I will help everyone
I will save my people
It's what he would have done
It's what he did his entire life
So I will follow him
And I will fight for my home
Even if it means lying to them
I will do it
Because I'm the only one who can
