“I made my mind a sunless place

I share my dreams with ghosts

I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago, from which there’s only one conclusion

I’m damned for what I do

My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight

They’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape

I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet

What’s my sacrifice?

I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them

I burn my decency for someone else’s future

I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see

And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror, or an audience or the light of gratitude

So what do I sacrifice

EVERYTHING

So you’ll stay with me Lonni

I need all the heroes I can get”
