====== Fight ======

A filk of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GifLlz9u6OQ|'Burn' from Hamilton the Musical]], following Emily's internal monologues through out [[resources:adventure:gaining_favour|Gaining Favour]].

EMILY:\\
I’ve read every pamphlet you wrote for her\\
Seen the way that you defend\\
With every line,\\
The Traitors design,\\
Penelope’s shrine.

I have never been interested in\\
Religion or any such games\\
But this obsession you have with her\\
Shows no bias when it makes its claims\\

Though I would not call what we have a friendship\\
You’re life is now somehow more centric\\
And each new adventure that we undertake\\
Each new encounter…\\

I’m staying behind like you told me to\\
I’m watching you battle for you life\\
With every blow\\
I’m watching you glow\\
And somehow I know\\
You just want to fight\\
Fight

Every word out your mouth is an argument\\
Some bitter complaint about how she is wrecking\\ 
Your life\\
Your families name\\
All while breaking your heart

Do you know you’re not fooling anyone\\
When you say that they’re wrong?\\
But then, though you know you look foolish\\
You will do what you must to stay strong.

And I will do what I can to support you\\
Poking at all the right buttons\\
Making you argue for the sake of argument\\
Just to annoy you-\\
You, you, you 

There are feelings I’m starting to realize\\
Emotions that complicate choices\\
And decisions in battle\\
When you risk your life\\
You are in constant strife\\
And I want to fight\\
I need to fight

And while this will never be said\\
And while this will stay deep inside\\
It’s not like I’m trying to hide\\
I’m fighting beside you\\
fighting for justice\\
that she has denied you\\

She isn’t as smart as she thinks\\
She isn’t the one that you need\\
She just doesn’t care when you bleed\\
Well at least not like I do\\
When I see you fall

For you I will fight
