Letra de The Double Life
At the top of the stairs is a locked room My secret chamber that no outsider views For entry is forbidden prohibited Behind this door is my other selfNot a picture in a frame nor a fresh disguise But my other self, immobile inert and sanguine My narcissus kisses exhale crimson breath And pump ruby to the lipI stand before myself not Jekyll nor Hyde Not sibling nor twin separated at birth I stand before myself unaccountableI dreamt that I had feet of clay I dreamt I crossed the seven seas And when I woke not knowing I knew I led the double lifeAll I ever needed is twice removed I spit my bile in an airless temper In this vacuum a vampire reversed This one who breathes life into meAnd even dull mirrors reflect the tarnished twosome I stand before myself not another me Not doppelganger nor witless clone I stand before myself unrepentantI dreamt of sin and aftermath I dreamt of centuries laid bare And when I woke not knowing I knew I led the double life
