The Infidel Is Me

Am I the infidel
I thought it was supposed to be someone else
But now I see it's me
I am my own worst enemy

Just think of it
The sequence of the incidents was intricate
So brilliant yet illegitimate
Not disastrously but triumphantly
When we met in the secret facility
I said, you remember what I said
"It'll be easy for you to recognize me
By the coils of concentina wire
Surrounding my head in a shiny halo
Of small sharp blades."

"There are people here
That would do you great harm
So please, just try to stay calm
And I'll get you through this,"
You whisper
And with that, my illegance had shifted

The betrayal, the delusions
My Quantico rejection
The isolation, the breakdowns
And mysterious injections
Ah, the infidel is me

Then it was I
The lone futurist leading scores of resistors
Armed with tridents
But you're not there

Why can't you come in from the cold
Why can't you come in from the cold
To make an unlikely alliance with me

Why don't you come in from the cold
Why don't you come in from the cold
To make an unlikely alliance with me

Ay, the Infidel is me

And in defiance of our alliance
I say, go away and lick your wounds
And when you get them really clean again
You can dream away your dark dream

Ay, the Infidel is me.
