Forgive and forget, that's what they say
Well, I've forgiven and forgotten every single day
Despite what you think, this is a far cry from just
I don't know what to believe or who to trust
All I want, is just to breathe
Like a parasite that will not leave
Tear my flesh and drink my blood
Crocodile tears form a shallow flood
I'm no longer a child and no longer naive
Another white lie you just expect me to believe
An onslaught of insults I don't have to take
Another promise I know you will break
You're an ominious silhouette, forever hanging over me
A sinister shadow, forever trailing behind me
You convince yourself we're only lost in translation
As if this falling rubble is a solid foundation
A smile on your lips is a frown on mine
Look in the mirror, you're the one out of line
All I want, is just to breathe
Like a parasite that will not leave
Tear my flesh and drink my blood
Crocodile tears form a shallow flood
Absurd? Ludicrous? Crazy? Or sane?
Different? Diverse? Contrary? Or the same?
