Mime

I know this life
Your life delicately plucked
I know this life
What you live everyday
I know your dreams
I know your fears
I’ve been here before
I am you

I dream the same sour dreams
As you
I play the same morbid games
As you
I am nothing but abstained amour
As you
We are small, but together
We are nothing
I am you
I play you
And you play me
Twisting, turning, singing
In this tainted reverie
I am you
And you are me
I am you
And we are me

I hold your life in my hand
I squeeze and your breath is quaffed
I sneeze and you are spread everywhere
I shake and you tumble to the floor
I hold and you shutter in my stare

You play and toy
With my mind
You fear the same things as I
For I fear the same things as you
We are one in the same
Identical pawns in ten different rows
How simple the treasure of our love
How fragile the embrace of our lives
Just one misjudgment
And we take ourselves over the edge
‘Till one dies
In our rampage and fury
I see this day draw on apace
I’ve seen our fear grown stronger by the minute
We both know how unstable we are
We both know how much we love each other
We both know how much we hate each other
We both know how much pain there will be
When we slit one another’s throats
And rest our garments
In sanguine homage

How sweet your breath
But I’ve never seen your breath before
And it sickens me to think
That it is the little things I’ll miss
As we both lay choking
Our last breaths in this world
With our hands at our throats
And the blood in our lungs
Oh, how wonderful this pain is!
How romantic it is this red wine
In my throat
How peaceful
How utterly divine
This carnage
Seems to me
Seems to you

I love you
You love me
Not only for my sacrifice
But for my sacrilege
I love you the same
I love the blood in your golden hair
And the pool forming from your mouth
I love the look of horror in your eyes
As you realize there is no return to this world
I know I look the same
I know I seem the same to you
I love your love for me
Kiss me once now
Before I pass
And meet you, as well
Your humanity fulfills me
And only it was I that decided this decision
Admonishing how long before the Judgment Day
I meet you in the middle
With no life after this
I meet you feeling your same fear
I meet you, but under false pretenses
For I now realize I was not you all along
It was just my excuse
Just my reason
Backing my desire to kill you
I wanted that feeling
I wanted to know what it was like
To make someone fall
I wanted to know what it was like for me, as well
Did you ever fear me
For I did
Everyday?
You hold your place in the sky
As I tumble to the ground
Inside
As I fall in flames
As it is written on the doorway to Paradise
That those who grace the land
Abolished from all hope
Must pay the price
But I do not see you at my feet
In my dungeon of the ages

I thought you were me
Why aren’t you here
With me?
My knife
Imbedded in my throat eternally
My ever punishment
For my crimes
Others carry around soggy heads
From lives past when the wine went to their brains
Others smell furiously
From lives past casually in swallow filth and riches
But I am the laughing stock
Of my hated brethren
I am the one cast out
I am the one who is not accepted even in Hell
I hold my grievances to my chest
But there is no escape from my prison
There is no life after the afterlife
There is no life after you
