Divided Unity

Compensation

I thought to feel the way I did

So empty with no drenched desires

Was not the way, I'd wait, but weighted

My choices, overcompensated

Closet voices hide in masks

Emerging over boring tasks

But none lie dormant, all fly free

These memories are the end of me

To be so open, honest, true

For the world to see the real you

In my eyes was never a possibility

With you it was all I seemed to do

I tried my best to acquire such fires

Ended up parroting pixels that long have retired

From bloodied up screens in some cobweb garage

Keep all traces of our past inside of a box

Digging up what I kept just to laugh at some antics

Some clever old wit locked in Cerberus' pit

There are no sticks or stones that come close to my bones

But those lyrics are lying when I'm all alone

For some leonine mane and some leporine gaze

In some sun-kissed bronze strands and a porcelain face

Behind gunmetal eyes where your damage is held

There's a part of your mind that will drag me to hell

I took time to tell you all of my greatest fears

After everything you don't shed a single tear

But if you really believe that there's naught for you here

Come with me and we'll depart as our hearts' mutineers
