Silent Twin Lyrics

One soul smeared too thin.
Or torn, raw-edged and aching.
Eternally tangled together
Past flesh, beyond bone.
She steals the light from me,
My night bruises her face.

Only our muted hate
To fill the cold hour.
(Dragged down in
dreams of jealousy).
Only our muted hate
To fill the cold.
One of us must go.
One of us.

Convicted for the crime
Of consciousness conjoined.
Slipping cord that binds
Is knotted, is noosed on our necks.
She steals the light from me,
My night bruises her face.
(Another face boils
Under mine in the mirror).

Only our muted hate
To fill the cold hour.
(Dragged down in
dreams of jealousy).
Only our muted hate
To fill the cold.
One of us must go.
One of us.

We'll increase with subtraction.
But combined, zero sum.

If she rises from the fire
I'll choke on her ash.
Reaching beyond
The bars of my breast,
I stifle the heart
Of my silent twin.
Reaching beyond the bars,
I stifle the heart
Of my silent twin.
