that nagging splinter
you burn my soul with your tinder
you goad my dreams
and trump my resolve
and you leave me reeling
in a head shake so unappealing
what are you which I seek
give me a sign that you can quake
I will honour none who refuse
to fight me with stoic silent muse
I will be here when the game ends
come see my face, my blue eyes
and I shall give to thee my true title
the one my fathers father hailed
not this Mmmmmm of bound lips
he just hides and is my conceal
what is it you seek
what plans have you made
defiance is only defiance
if you have something you're against
I've known you man and boy
I'm your reflection or are you mine
maybe my life is your life
reversed on the other side
