Faithless Sleeper
Why is it easier to end in anger?
My life, it seems to end with your dagger.
But is that better than living in mortal danger?
I stopped dancing with a branding poker,
I stopped consorting with a jeering joker,
And for what! I seem to have lost a lover,
Who filled my world with joy and wonder,
Who asked me to trust him and more over,
Said he would be there, always, forever.
Yet I stop. I seem to live in slumber,
In this world I’m a helpless dreamer,
And you protect me, the faithless sleeper,
And you’re devoted. But you love her!
In reality, you’re a little shocker!
You string me along but now its over.
I’m not playing your game any longer.
Because of this, I am much stronger.

Dummy
Is this fear I feel, my dearest good friend?
Is the trust you seem so happy to break?
Is this awful feeling ever to end?
From this feeling will I ever awake?
Will you give back how I was before?
Will you leave me alone, so I can live?
Will you answer if I choose to implore?
From that first feeling, my hatred I give.
Can I simply forget all of this?
Can I? Of course I, it’s silly to ask!
You and your friendship I will dismiss.
I know who I am; I don’t need a mask.
