Diametric

 You don't feel the pain that I do

And I can't see what's inside you

You don't know the things I've seen

And I can't exist inside your dreams

We can't comprehend the nerves we've exposed 

We are light and dark; diametrically opposed

You want to be loved and cared for 

Two of the things I most abhor

Not that I don't feel these things too

Just that I could never give them to you

For you're an angel bathed in light

And I'm a demon at home in the night

I steal that soul your heart exposed

You and I are diametrically opposed

You're sweet innocent pure and naive

I'm a hardened cynic too jaded to believe

Where your halo radiates loving light 

My fires only brighten from screams of fright 

The darker I am the more your light glows

We are diametrically opposed

Your angel song is glorious to those that hear

And I bring terror to those who dare come near

The righteous look to you for guidance

As I punish equally when I have a chance 

They need us both I suppose

For we are diametrically opposed

Only in the dark is light of any use

They need wrong and right in order to choose

I don't commit the wrong nor you the right

Yet they blame us with their limited sight

We are two sides of the same coin I suppose

You and I, diametrically opposed
