Now Here, Then There

You tricked me once and tricked me twice There will not be a next ime For I shall take your life. You used to pull the strings Played with me, made me dance to your tune Now I want to see If you can also dance to my tune But with severed nerves I shall lead you, fear not My hatred is now gone, Forwhy I realize we are the same You and I, suffer from the same illness: Life. You seek freedom, as I also do, No point denying it Behind your mask of empty words I spy fear and disgust You claim to be tired Tell me that the situation made you wary You want to forget and to undo what cannot be undone I offer you my aid, come, there is a way... You yet lack what it takes to be set really free Come with me and I shall show you how to get there to the other side of this dark and cruel hall But be aware, this is an one way ticked trip, but who cares? For when you meet me there you shall see See that what lies here and hinder your forwarding to a more blessed realm With its strings righteously cut and heart full of joy, there will be no regrets Only the one to not have done that sooner. Enough. I feel confused but I still know what must be done Are you still with me? I must call her now, my old friend She is nice, if you know how to amend to your side of the road She ought be our guide, mine and yours Quick now, shall we go? I must keep my word and lead you, look The first steps are fast, look Will open a few holes on our cage of flesh, look Dig deep, dig fast, don't stop until senses fails and head goes numb, look From which you can see the inside of you, look how I really am, look Ugly as the outside, but to be ether this shall not matter, for both of us What you may come to feel now, may cloud your thinking, may make you doubt me, perhaps to think I wish to make you miserable, that I mislead you to a trap. That I did not. For, to you, I do not lie. The woe, my dear, lies in our hearts, on this husk The very same which we have no use anymore, none of them and none from here Don't think bad of me, please For I only want to set you free. Close your eyes and follow me...
