A messy place to start
Let's add more complications
More pieces in the game
Certainly we will all be left in shambles
Which side am I on
By whom should I stand
Perhaps I'm better off standing alone
Stop adding to the pain
Dealt by my hand
My knight or the thief
Which one should it be
Or neither
Perhaps I'd be better off with neither
Left with no one by my side
These things are never fair
Everything has become so tangled
I can't loosen the knot
Without cutting ties
I am a coward and I just can't do it
I don't want to be the one they blame
Or the one to break
But moment by moment
The opposing forces move in
Consuming my meager renegade
Trapping me in the crossfire
Sometimes you want to play the victim
When you are exactly the opposite-
The executioner
A mere thought I can't get away from
I can't seem to shake
These feelings I shouldn't have
In the first place.
