sometimes i get the better
of my own reflection
he’s just like me
without imperfection
god gave him patience
and silver empathy
eternal education
is what he gave me
i’ll bring the cyanide
and he’ll bring the smile
and we’ll bottle the storm
for a little while
so bear with me girl
i can’t hold back the tide
i need it on my own
but i want you by my side
now the halfway house
it comes crumbling down
but i know the pieces
will follow me around
now my imagination
it wrestles with frustration
can you reconcile
with what came before?
now the halfway house
it comes crumbling down
but i know the pieces
will follow me around
now my imagination
it wrestles with frustration
do you forgive yrself
or do you hide from it all?
i see the forest for the trees
i see the branch among the leaves
i see the fish in the sea
i turn around now
and there’s just me
well sometimes we dance
and sometimes we never even
look at each other at all
you are gone but the song’s still here
