Divided I Fall - Nightingale

Already unusual as we grew inside the womb

On the outside the people prayed

That it wouldn’t be our tomb

The time had come to be born into this world

And now we breathe the air

In this new world we’ve entered

Now, we’re here on the other side

Forever together as one

But not sharing sould and mind

It appears I’m the weaker one

I was born with a useless heart

My lungs do not breathe the air

To support my feeble mind

Life goes on, and now the facts are clear

I’m the leech hanging on to you for survival

Now, here on the other side

Though we’re together as one

It seems like I wear us down

And something needs to be done

Here on the other side

People will have to decide

Whether we live or die tonight

Oh, no…

We lie on the table, eyes all around

I wait for my end to begin

Will there be darkness, or will there be light?

I guess I am soon to find out

In time there will be no more doubt

Oh, suddenly torn apart

Leaving me lifeless and cold

And I feel how I fade away

My spirit remains in the room

And seeing you’re still alive hurts

But I know what is done

Was a heartbreaking choice

Because united we stand but divided I fall
