Lethal Legacy

One is alive, one is not
Lurking inside the flesh, it slowly rots
Before your birth, there was another life
Defective twin that you now hold inside

Malignant occupant
Unseen inhabitant
Like a cancer, it gnaws away
A pain unanswered, gets worse each day
Deep inside of you, your stomach churns
The one you never knew, has now returned

Deadly, legacy
Spreading, misery
Dying, in agony
Begging, please get it out of me

So many years, this secret dwelled inside
A second self, destined for fratricide
Unformed, invisible, your duplicate
Unborn assassin, seals your gruesome fate

Parasitic sycophant
Unliving opposite
Like a cancer, it gnaws away
A pain unanswered, gets worse each day

Deep inside of you, your stomach churns
The one you never knew, has now returned

Lethal, legacy
Spreading, misery
Dying, in agony
Begging, please get it out of me
