"maybe i split off,

went bad in the head;

 

maybe they bred me like that," i once said

 

to the suffering soul i found in the mirror.

 

she'd asked me why i forced her here.

 

her lips

bled.

 

her smile

hurt.

 

and i think it was that something in her face

 

echoed my soul.

 

we cried

and cried

a sea of salt,

 

and i met this girl

 

in the only place we could

 

find

together.

 

it was something understood;

 

maybe she too had gone bad in the head,

 

or maybe they'd bred us like that

 

instead.
