Beginning of the End

Touched by a moment of weakness
They met under the guise of love and passion
I can only hope that it was a beautiful night
Because nothing would ever be the same again.

Due to their weakness
I awakened with the need to swim
And with a sudden burst of energy
I swam harder and faster than the rest
And unfortunately...
I got the prize.

It was no longer about him and her
It very quickly became about us
And through their unprotected ignorance
I was bestowed with the privilege of life.

If only I could've given it all back
If only I knew then, what I know now...
I would've passed on the privilege
I wouldn't have headed for the light.

But their ignorance
Breed more ignorance
For I believed the nine months we shared was love
It was merely obligation
Because while I was growing closer to her
She was already preparing to leave me behind.

Born of the tainted womb
Set free from my captivity
Another bastard son has been unleashed upon the world
And much like a plague set into the air
All I do is scare them away.

Now as I look in the mirror
I try to look within myself
I try to make sense of my existence
I try to make sense of his explosive rage
And her over medicated weakness
Because these were their final gifts for me.
