The Perfect Partner
(aka "Complete" a working title © 2004)
By: Tanrei Kouen
--------------------------------------------------------------
The darkness closes in and I feel my chest strain
My heart beats
My heart bleeds
My heart hurts
My heart fights
My heart strains
I must remind myself that it's not real
Mask of glass
Mask my past
Mask the pain
Mask the strain
Mask my delight
The mission is my purpose, to fail means my death
Remember to breath
Remember to fight
Remember the mission
Remember to fly
Remember it's all a lie
My chest feels sticky and my head feels light
I see my friends
I see the dawn that doesn't end
I see your tears
I see my mistakes
I see my imperfections
The world shifts and I hit my knees
My heart fights
My heart strains
My heart hurts
My heart bleeds
My heart beats
You help me up, and defiantly pull me along
Mask my delight
Mask the strain
Mask the pain
Mask my past
Shattered Mask of Glass
Your warmth floods into me, and we fight on
Remember this is life
Remember to fly
Remember the mission
Remember to fight
Remember to breath
Adrenalin aids me, in our flight
I see my imperfection
I see my mistakes
I see you tears
I see the dawn that doesn't end
I see my friends
Understanding, you make my imperfections right.
My steadfast ally
My partner in war
My partner in life
The reason my heart beats
The reason I'm alive
I can read eternity within your amethyst eyes.
