HITOMI

Behind those crimson eyes
I see a field of ice
Beyond that, blood-red skies
Of apathy entice
Where one lied a fire
That only I could see
Is only endless fog
A cloudless reality

You, you are not she
She is dead; you are a simulacrum
You, you are not me
I am dead; you are a doppelganger
You, you are not he
He is gone; you are a memory hiding
You, you are not me
I am myself; you are the me inside her

Behind those crimson eyes
I see apocalypse
Beyond that, bloodless skies
The fruit of life snatched from our grasp
Where once lied a fire
Destined to obey
A caged soul liquified
An icy titan rearranged

You, you are not she
She is dead; you are a simulacrum
You, you are not me
I am dying; you are my last libido
You, you are not she
She is dead; you are my guilt denying
You, you are not me
I am gone; you are the one inside me

Behind those crimson eyes
I see the naked truth
Beyond that lies the breast
Split with lance of day
Where once lied a fire
Prometheus brought forth
A forbidden union
For those He formed from clay

You, you are not she
She is here; you are a simulation
You, you are not me
I am myself; you are an obligation
You, you are not he
He is gone; you are the shadow reminder
You, you are not me
I am I; the alpha and omega
