Entwined

I’ve still walked on a path

Since I lost your faith

And you, on my thorny scared forehead

Wrote in blood your sins

(Here I am, I’m back

Sketching a path full of lies

Here I bring you sorrow

All the fear and the pain bursting your eyes)

I’ve drawn it all again

I must be late (must be you)

You must be

Must be with me

For all the stuff I am

I must be late (must be you)

You must be

Must be with me

Forever I’m stained by you

Filthy but stronger I rose

(Life spins, don’t we know?

Nothing is gone)

I’ve drawn it all again

I must be late

You must be (must be you)

Must be with me

(Thus, indeed, must be me, must be with me)

(I blindly drew a way for your denial

Instead I reached dark places inside of my own

Now countless shades are leaking out from me

Creating this misformed being, both you and me)

Under each pore on me

Threatening remembrances

Devour my serenity

Gallons and gallons of

Melting mercy memories

Have flooded away my being

So hold me and lick my sweat to purify

All the taste of guilt I can’t afford but I can’t deny

Dragging burdens and misfortunes

Disposing of faceless cries and shattered shouts

I should not refuse (take this misery inside)

Being another but me

Being away but in me

For all we’ve shared

All the silence we had before

All the thereness we joined

Through the nights we’ve laid on
