I've come here so many times

You've come to me disguised

Our rendezvous takes place inside

Our dance is secret, our steps are shy

Maybe years ago and far away -

In a time I did not even exist

I met you as I tried to stay

My bridge, my ticket, my enemy

Sometimes when I close my eyes

I see you as an eerie box

You envelop me and make me small

My Jinn, my shadow, my paradox

My darkness and my mystery

You're all the same to me

My pain, my pleasure, my vanity

You hold the secret key

I used to try to fight with you

Oh, my, how hard I did!

Like trying to bite a mirror image

Transparent wall I've hit

Drifting on the waves of self

My psyche goes beyond

Visions from before my birth

Emerge and shape their form

And victory comes so futile

Your friendship I cannot deny

That's what we are, you and I -

Two extremities that can't collide
