lyrics

Those word that she said to me,
they still ring clear in my memory,
she said: why do you do that and what's the point?
I said to get high and fly far away from this place,
so I don't have to face the people who have,
made me as I am.

Giving me head on the unmade bed you said:
how come you hate me when I love you so much and how come you strain when you feel my touch?
I said: It's because you think you've got problems (oh, I wish I had your problems)
take mine and why don't you solve them.

I hope you realize that escapism is not advised when you want to tell it like it is,
and don't you try and tell me what it is that you think you see that I don't,
because you won't,
because I've seen it all before,
I've seen the stuff that you try to ignore.

So I hope that maybe you can see,
the difference between truth and belief,
because we live in hope and we live and die,
and I,
just hope that you can recognize somehow,
that we two are far too different now.
