The Other Us

The reason why we act this way
is not the reason that you say

The tempting ruse the long delays
the make up sex the cold embrace

The kiss that lies the lies to face
the face to face the small mistakes

We take and take we give no breaks
we claim we hate but know it’s fake

I hate this state – I hate this place
I hate this hate – I hate this hate

But it’s the only thing that keeps me sane
– The only way that we relate

I hate this state – I hate this place
I hate this hate – I hate this hate

But it’s the only thing that keeps me sane
– The only way that we relate

Why must our love feel like disgrace
What should be sweet leaves bitter taste

You claim disdain makes you feel safe
I claim the same and so we wait

We wait for something we call change
Like brittle stone we wait to break

You like to ask me what I think
About this love and so I sing

I hate this state – I hate this place
I hate this hate – I hate this hate

But it’s the only thing that keeps me sane
– The only way that we relate

I hate this state – I hate this place
I hate this hate – I hate this hate

But it’s the only thing that keeps me sane
– The only way that we relate

–

– Do you think of me, like whispers on a breeze
– That glide past never seen, our lust was never clean
– Our love was never neat, it’s messy and unique
– It’s poison but its sweet, damn whats wrong with me

– I hate you for these thoughts, I hate me for these truths
– I hold on when it’s rough, to thoughts of me and you
– I hate this other us I hate that we never touch
– I hate that we never formed a complete and honest trust

– But I guess it’s too late now, we mistreated what we found
– We misused it and abused it and then left it on the ground
– We refuse to pick it up, guess we were scared it might erupt
– And some how that nameless thing between us turned into disgust

I hate this state – I hate this place
I hate this hate – I hate this hate

But it’s the only thing that keeps me sane
– The only way that we relate

I hate this state – I hate this place
I hate this hate – I hate this hate

But it’s the only thing that keeps me sane
– The only way that we relate
