Pirate Irish Twins

It was always just the two of us
Just you and me, pirates in our dreams
Co- Captains on anything resembling a ship
Eating stolen bread and sweets
Homeless and running around the castle of dreams
Feral brats who fought and cut the world right back
Older sister and little brother always
They'd gimace when calling us irish twins
Cause we're not even a year apart
There's a scar across my nose from your hand
You have a scar on your cheek from mine
I never thought I'd stand here today
Holding the pieces of my soul because of you
We're not nine and eight anymore
We're 26 and 25, and here we are
It's been a cruel decade for us both...
I ran from our family home and left you alone
When we were but only 16 and 15
You've never forgiven me for that and never will
You never came to see me, wouldn't look at me
I've tried so hard for so very long
To show you that I had no choice but to leave
If this were a story we'd be pirates
On a ship somewhere on the sea
But we're no longer nine and eight
Due to the sands of time we're 26 and 25
I've tried to save you my whole life
Throwing myself in front of you to protect you
Standing there gathering scars from swords meant for you
It's always been about you, willing Rapunzel
You've trapped yourself in that trailer park
It ain't a maze, hon, nor is it your destiny
I cant keep spending all my life; all my time
Desperately trying to convince you of this
This is the last time I'll try to save you
My pirate irish twin; you're so wild and free
But you're trapped yourself in a cage of your choice
They feed you poison and you say it's love
I'll always be sorry that I left you there...
But I was 16... I was only 16...
And you wouldn't come with me when I asked
Like fuck dude, we're not kids anymore and
My broken body can't take anymore swords
I can't save you if you won't even try to save yourself

It's like the universe keeps forcing my eyes open to my family... And I just... Fuck I can't do it anymore.
