Melinoe

Is this how you think of me?

Is this how you want me to be?

With all the nights I've cried,

Does that show you what you do to me?

I can't escape from it,

The creature in my sight

When I look in the mirror

And I'm split between black and white.

It's become my worst fear,

And so my eyes begin to fill with tears

But I'm split down the middle, torn in two,

In an everlasting war, do I show myself if it hurts you?

Please don't let me become your ghost

But you're the perfect host

How did we end up this way?

Has all this time just been a lie?

Am I forced into love

With no control of my emotions?

How can I know that what I'm thinking

Are my own thoughts anymore?

This has gone on far too long,

But I can't shake this hole I call my home

But I'm split down the middle, torn in two,

In an everlasting war, do I show myself if it hurts you?

Please don't let me become the ghost

Of what you fear the most

I was split down the middle, torn in two,

And I chose to give you my heart,

I showed myself and it hurt you

Now you wear the mark of my ghost,

It's what I feared the most

"Problemchild, why can't you just be normal?"

You ask yourself, "Why am I just so horrible?"

And you try so hard to fight the good fight

But you smell their fear when they look in your eyes

Maybe, you're not the problem, problemchild,

Well maybe, you're not the problem, problemchild

Problemchild, why do you keep on fighting

And screaming, even no one cares enough to listen

You speak the truth, that is undeniable

But just because it hurts, that doesn't mean that truth is vile

And you feel your fight is unrecognized

Till you see them squirm 'cause goddamn you're right

You're learning, you're not the problem, problemchild,

You're learning, you're not the problem, problemchild,

You know now, you're not the problem, problemchild,

Oh baby, you're not the problem, problemchild.
