byron henderson - black & white & red all over again. lyrics

[verse: byron henderson, marina esmeralda]
from the shadows of arkham, where madness breeds and festers
in cells of steel, i once served as a professor
quinzel with the ink and the quill, my penance pressed
but dark temptations, joker’s jest, had me possessed
met the devil in white, with a grin that cut to the core
his laughter lacerated, love felt like a chore
watching as the mirror cracked, and my reflection split in two
harley’s hеart bled, but harleen’s conscience grеw
a prisoner of his whims, the sins, the endless spin
caught in his grins, my heart turned thin, but kept within
he had me trapped in chains, love stained, profane and insane
quinn and joker, a fl!cker in gotham’s tragic domain
echoes of his laughter like a siren’s call
lost myself deep in his madness, trapped behind asylum walls
mind tangled in a web
for too long, love was a dagger and trust was all but dead
so i’d stagger between harleen to harley right back to harleen
hard to go from shattered dreams to reconstructing self+esteem
yet i’m out on gb with a past i’m no longer chasing after
crossed paths with slade, prepped for all my future acts of valor
found ivy, my sister, but our paths weren’t alike
she’s on a course to poison, while i’m searching for the light
our bond turned toxic, had to flee before the fight
some journeys are walked alone, too much loss in losing sight
masked by night, i moved with a vigilante’s creed
stopping crimes, no blood spilled from the villainous breed
bats told me he was proud, saw the change in my core
gave me hope that my quest ain’t in vain anymore
yet, gotham’s grim, some demons never repent
one night, it came to pass, irredeemable descent
a villain so lost, redemption something they can’t retrieve
the bat’s shadow loomed, a scene he couldn’t believe
rooftop clash, ideologies collide
batman’s questions, my silent stride
he wants to arrest me, but i’m not going down without a fight
he asks if i’ll shoot
“bats, yeah right!”
no more words spoken, as i toss my guns aside
a dance of shadows, where only the truth resides
i narrowly best him, then explain how he’s complicit
certain villains’ reigns of terror that he’s unwilling to finish
“i respect your code, but you can be too blind to see
for the good of the city, certain vessels must be freed
’cause lives of the innocent outweigh your decree
certain villains need to bleed, to allow gotham to breathe.”
from shadows emerged, the joker’s sardonic grin
mocking not only the bat, but also my struggle within
he says to bats, “harley, of all people?”, with a sneer
“gotham will never accept you”, amplifying my fears
i shrink, reflecting on how i suffered throughout the years
and how i projected on other people became clear as day
joker hands me a gun and says, “do the deed.”
i look at bats, beneath his cowl, disappointment’s what i see
two years at arkham and he was my only visitor
said he had a bad day too, but he wasn’t giving up
turned the gun on mistah j, wiping tears from my eyes
told him i won’t k!ll b+man, and here’s why
“he’s decent, every sweet thing you said to me was a lie
did horrible things for you, and you just left me to die
nothing i did mattered cause nothing we had was real
was simply a plaything in your eyes, supplying thrills
know i was never good enough, just good enough to use
just good enough to abuse, and i put up with it for you, puddin’
but that changes today
my goal ain’t to be better than you or him, but better than what you created
i’m no longer your lapdog that you can boss around
and i’m certainly not the bat that’d rather you in arkham now, mistah j
lastly, i am not harley quinn
the name’s harleen quinzel, and for you, it’s the end”
+gunshots+
[hook: marina esmeralda]
picture a soul unsold strolling cross the styx
reflections in the water, but the mirror’s playing tricks on me
devil’s got a joke, they’re saying it’s on me
but i’m waving bye bye

[bridge: marina esmeralda]
you ain’t stronger than my faith, and you know that
you ain’t stronger than my faith, and you know that
you ain’t stronger than my faith, now i know that

[outro: marina esmeralda, byron henderson]
it’s getting a little late. i have to get back, unfortunately
did you have fun?
i always have fun with you. if i could spend every day with you, i’d literally never be sad again. thank you for earlier too. i feel so much better. i hope the stains come out though
don’t trip. just let it heal and try to be okay. text me when you make it
of course i will. but can i have some of your big shot before i go?
uh huh
