My Midnight

V1: It's been years now,

And somehow- I came back, is this all true...?

How could you live in the back of your mind, for so long-

Thinking this imposter is you?

 

Pounding on the glass, with both fists- Was he listening?

Or the people he brought in, Did they hear a thing?

If only my friends knew me before he took over-

This is the second beginning, not my closure.

 

C: As I break through the glass,

And slit his throat at last-

I catch my breath,

And I shake as I stand...-

NOW I, can feel it when I say I.

My ribs, almost break around my pride...

 

V2: I blink again, dizzy off monster, adrenaline

and cologne that's almost perfume..

..I see clearer than ever as I look around my room.

Quite a lovely set-up you have collected for me, I say to his dead body,

Slowly piecing his way out, like a Matrix glitch before me.

I look at myself and I see my old smile, at the pinnacle of my new design..

 

One I wanted so, so- bad- but never had the guts to say,

I have some scratches- and the stress has rotted my brain...

C: But I, broke through the glass..

..The life, my midnight is back at last.

I catch my breath,

And I shake as I stand...-

NOW I, can feel it when I say I.

My ribs, almost break around my pride...
