Slaying my moat - Sudha Pillai

I cannot slay my twin
...who is my own
but kill i must
to live i must

I cannot slay my twin
'cause she is my moat
but kill i must
to live i must

I cannot slay my twin
keeper of my secrets
but kill i must
to live i must

I cannot slay my twin
my companion in lonely cliffs
but kill i must
to live i must

I cannot slay my twin
my army against the world
but kill i must
to live i must

I cannot slay my twin
'cause it makes the pores of my skin weep blood
but kill i must
to live i must

To live I must
Kill I must
for she is EGO

And when she is slayed
I'll stand tall
I'll stand beautiful
I'll stand calm
I'll stand precious
I'll stand
on my own
without the I.
