My Fair Fiend - Symbiotic Stare

I split myself in two
Gave one to you and one to you
Now What am I left with?
Just a symbiotic stare
It doesn’t compare
It doesn’t compare to being whole

So you take passion and emotion
And I’ll take wisdom and be wise
We could go our separate ways
But within days we’ll find our way
To some asylum
Numbing needles in our veins

I split my brain in two
Gave one to you and one to you
Oh, what was I thinking?
While the right walks in aimless illusion
Left, she knows no color
Knows no dream

You can take the thrill and all the wonder
And I’ll take wisdom and be wise
We could go our separate ways
But within days we’ll find ourselves
In a sweet straight-jacket embrace

How many mirrors must I break?
Before I only have one face?
Symbiotic stare…
How can we coexist with a purpose we don’t share?

I split my heart in two
Gave one to you and one to you
Oh, what have I done now?
While the right drowns in indigo
Left, she grows faint
As the red runs lower and lower

You can take the promise of potential
And I’ll take experience and pain
We can go our separate ways
But within minutes, within seconds
We both are sure to drain and empty
