Life between us

Oh how I hate her
if she only knew
She's the mother of insanity
I wish it weren't true
She drives the wind
and pours the rain
She shines the sun
and glows the moon
then shines the sun again
Oh how I despise her
if she only knew
I have no choice
In every morn
I rise for her
And every night
she knocks me down
It doesn't matter
who is near
It's of no concern
to her I fear
Oh how she makes me do
whatever she wants me to
Bending but never breaking me
in two
Twisting me
Pulling me
from all sides at once
Oh how I've cried
and cried
and tried
to no avail
and all my efforts fail
I wish I knew
what it is she wants
what she needs from me
she helps herself
I give all I can
But I am just one man
her hunger exceeds me
her thirst drains me
I'm doing what I can
God how I hate this
this I'm sure she knows
like the snow storm
on my wedding day
and when she rains
on all my new clothes
I don't know why
or when
But I remember
day back then
When it seemed to me
that I was free
Why can't it be
why won't she
let me
die happy.

Close my eyes
relax
and think of nothing
forget about the world
tonight
shut my eyes tight
everything
has to be right
has to be alright
it'll be alright
without me tonight
let me lie in peace
tonight
close my eyes
relax
forget about the world
tonight
shut my eyes tight
everyone has someone
to be with
tonight
they'll be alright
they'll have to be
alright
tonight
without me
tonight
let me lie in peace
but here we go
around for one more time.

Who am I
but you
a different face
perhaps
who are you
but him
who's just like me
through the thin
and thick of it all
can't you see
we're the same inside
although we try hard
to hide
the things that make us
alike
who are you
but me
a different face
perhaps
who am I
but her
who's just like you
believe it
it's true
I am me and you are you
but we are all alike
for who are we but us
and they are them
the only difference is
the space
the life between us.
