Gemini's Lament

Can't sleep, insomniac,
toss and turn, wide awake
Fast asleep dreaming, peacefully screaming
I'm so lost without you,
I don't need you
I loved you, you hated me
I hated you, you hate me
Moving forward, falling backward,
to the left, I stagger
So free, against the wall, incompetent know-it-all

Don't we all carry weight?
Will this be, all our fate?
We march on, don't turn back
We run away, from our past

I'm restless, frustrated,
full of light, all jaded
I'm so drunk, sober,
clean for weeks, inebriated
It's so real, it's not real,
I can't deal, with how I feel
I don't know, where I'm going,
no light, all knowing
A whisper, silent scream,
so quiet...too quiet
I'm happy, laughing,
I'm sobbing, it's not me
It's not you, it's not me,
it's everything

What do you feel, Gemini?
We don't know, we're always switching sides
I can't make up our own mind
Who are you inside, my Gemini?

Don't know you, stranger
Good friend and stranger
I want you, I want you,
I need you...no I don't
I'm innocent, innocent,
don't know, any better
My words written, blood red, so read it quick, discard the letter
Corrupted politic, silver tongue, sold as new
You're lying, tell the truth,
be honest, what's wrong with you?
Spit me up, swallow down, lift me up, pull me down

Who am I now without having you?
Without me, are you no longer you?
I'm not sure who I'm supposed to be
I just know you chose you, without choosing me
