The Infidel Is Me

Am I the infidel

I thought it was supposed to be someone else

But now I see it's me

I am my own worst enemy

Just think of it

The sequence of the incidents was intricate

So brilliant yet illegitimate

Not disastrously but triumphantly

When we met in the secret facility

I said, you remember what I said

"It'll be easy for you to recognize me

By the coils of concentina wire

Surrounding my head in a shiny halo

Of small sharp blades."

"There are people here

That would do you great harm

So please, just try to stay calm

And I'll get you through this,"

You whisper

And with that, my illegance had shifted

The betrayal, the delusions

My Quantico rejection

The isolation, the breakdowns

And mysterious injections

Ah, the infidel is me

Then it was I

The lone futurist leading scores of resistors

Armed with tridents

But you're not there

Why can't you come in from the cold

Why can't you come in from the cold

To make an unlikely alliance with me

Why don't you come in from the cold

Why don't you come in from the cold

To make an unlikely alliance with me

Ay, the Infidel is me

And in defiance of our alliance

I say, go away and lick your wounds

And when you get them really clean again

You can dream away your dark dream

Ay, the Infidel is me.
