Dark Brother
Your flame of love, light flickering,
Slowly dying,
You hate us all, my brother,
But you hate yourself even more!
Oh... why such a lie,
Would you rather die,
You... make me cry,
Won't you please try?
It started with a harsh word,
A moment of self doubt,
Growing with each betrayal,
If you hit me will you be okay?
If you could see what I see,
Your perfection,
In my reflection,
You are going in the wrong direction!
You have to win, at any cost,
You don't even know, you're lost,
Your mission, my competition,
It's a war of attrition,
Turn around, see another way,
Live to breathe another day,
Together we can build our love,
Remember, Truth brings the Dove,
Oh... why such a lie,
Would you rather die,
You... make me cry,
Won't you please try?
