Riddle me, mirror me, what lies in my core?
It’s a little too dark inside,
And I can’t unlock the door.
Ink me, write me, just what am “I” to “us”?
“You’re a collection of our nightmares
And we pray you to the dust.”
Bury me, endure me, if only for a while.
These wings won’t cut themselves you know,
Just make sure to smile.
Beat me, bruise me, mother, what have I done?
“You’re a nightmare, a devil, a broken soul
And existence is something from which you can’t run.”
Question me, doubt me, is spite all that I am?
I want to feel the love,
But it’s hard to give a damn.
Kneel to me, lie to me, what makes me your light?
“We can give you all our burdens,
And we know you’ll make it right.”
Cry for me, cover me, Is this what I deserve?
I’m drowning in your sea of swords
And I’m finally losing my nerve.
Perform for me, look at me, do you know what you’ve spawned?
“A scar that runs so very deep,
It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve drawn.”
Fear me, loathe me, it’s what we all do best.
I’ll be the perfect night terror
That lays you all to rest.
Enlighten me, burn me, just why are you so afraid?
“You’re the figure of all consequence,
And we can’t face what we have made.”
Hide me, bide me, it’s the only way I know.
It’s darker than the blindness is,
And I’m burning to end the show.
Talk to me, listen to me, is there anybody there?
No. No there isn’t…
Riddle me, mirror me, I think I found the key.
It’s not mine to have
But it’s easy enough to see.
Erase me, rewrite me, just what am “I” to “us”.
“You’re a little too lost, a little too late.
And you’ll pray for me until you’re dust.”
Just poem stuff cuz yeah
also sorry for not uploading as text but I used docs and its just simpler to copy paste.
