A Birthday Bash Lyrics
Repeat after me: I will not repeat
The horrifying dreams I cannot delete
Try as I might to erase my mind
I keep finding traces of you inside
Repeat after me: I will not repeat
The lust and the greed and the gluttony
Try as I might to erase my mind
I keep doubling back to Gemini
Now that I've got you all tied up in knots
We're going to tell the tale that I almost forgot
We're going to recreate what I should've stopped
We're going to blow this unholy house to dust
We're going to have a birthday bash just for us
Line up the candles, two by two
Two for every year beaten black and blue
Two for every monster more deformed
By forced reform!
So here's we are again, living in the scene of the crime
So, how's it all look, are the decorations right?
The only difference is, now we've got these big red sticks
Two by two, you got to help me get them lit
Light them up, light them up
Light them up, light them up
A troubled little boy stranded in an orphanage
An imaginary friend hidden underneath his skin
An identical twin, whispering inside his head:
Stab with all your heart, I want to see red
We're going to blow this unholy house to dust!
Come on, light it up!
We're going to blow this unholy house to dust!
Come on, light it up!
Light it up! Light it up!
Light it! Light it!
The horrifying dreams I cannot delete
Try as I might to erase my mind
I keep finding traces of you inside
The lust and the greed and the gluttony
Try as I might to erase my mind
I keep doubling back to Gemini
We're going to tell the tale that I almost forgot
We're going to recreate what I should've stopped
We're going to blow this unholy house to dust
We're going to have a birthday bash just for us
Two for every year beaten black and blue
Two for every monster more deformed
By forced reform!
So, how's it all look, are the decorations right?
The only difference is, now we've got these big red sticks
Two by two, you got to help me get them lit
Light them up, light them up
An imaginary friend hidden underneath his skin
An identical twin, whispering inside his head:
Come on, light it up!
We're going to blow this unholy house to dust!
Come on, light it up!
Light it up! Light it up!
Light it! Light it!

Are there the twins as two separate individuals? Or is it just one guy with split personality/an alter ego? I keep going back and forth on it.
As the record begins, it seems like they are twins. By the end, we realize that there never was a Pollock, it was just Cassius all along. One of the lines in "The Sun and Moon" that really started to reveal that was "I can see through you like a two-way mirror." A one way mirror allows you to look through to the other side without that person seeing you, but a two way mirror just means you're looking at yourself.

Towards the end of this song when he sings "An imaginary friend hidden underneath his skin / An identical twin, whispering inside his head", then you realize that it has all taken place inside his mind.
The final song pretty much tells the story. He was a orphan child who didn't even have a name. So he created the grandest name he could. Instead of being no one he was two people.
