Unravel

(Them)
What can you see
What do you see
When the world is this way
Transfixed in a seemingly permanent state of chaos
The weak feed on each other searching for a better way to be stronger
The strong break the backs of the weak
Without a backbone it's easy to begin with
Kill or be killed
This is the way of the world 
I'll tell you a little secret
It's not the big death that's the end that they want 
It's the death of individuality
A finality that impresses the squinted eyes of the corrupt 
Half blind by their own greedy means
Your spineless instincts guide you to keep you safe
Blend in with the crowd or be burned at the stake
Your an addict with a taste for blood
You revel in the sin of others
But deny that you partake in quieter dirty deeds
Keep your demons on lock down
Self destruct from within
This is the way of the world
(Me)
Running and hiding
Rubies that fall on dirty ground
Soiled silk dresses sliding sickeningly  to the ground
I was her and her and her too 
A carbon cut copy 
But now I'm fresh off the press an original 
Black ink smeared on my mouth they poisoned me before I could even begin
I couldn't wear the leash for long
So they put me in a cage
Society keeps the dark in check but quietly eggs it on
Darkness is encouraged the perverseness carries on
There's a light through the cracks none like I've seen before
It only shines at dawn and is masked by thoughts of "what if I'm wrong?"
Is it so wrong to be more than one thing?
To be more than a lowly beast
To be more than your wicked thoughts and vain attempts at a better self
Is it so wrong to tremble in the terror of an endless combination of possibilities?
I am no light angel
No dark fanged creature stalking you to the car
Rather a creature of my own making because I am not one but two 
I've licked the Devils upper lip
Swung hands with feathered Angels
I am none
I am both 
I can never be one
The potential for greatness is ever present hidden in the void  
Sitting in the finer print are truths hard to acknowledge 
Perhaps that's my greatest fear
Not the choices I must make but the ones I could
I've got a dark heart that pumps chilled blood steadily 
I let my gold casing sit underneath
Not always seen but always  there
I am two not one
(You)
You sit in your car, chain smoke your death sticks
I'd like to think you're a step from seeing you're more than one too
Lied to by the world so you drown yourself in poison 
Here's to hoping someday you'll be a different person 
Brand new
(Us)
Because the difference between us  now is slim 
I know who I am
The wonderful and the terrible
Who are you?
