Humane Gods
Sleeeeeep
I've been running all week, I need to relax
All day moving slowly, like I'm in wax
Help me dear bed, put it all away
This schedule is killing me, I want to stay
Making things harder by enveloping me
Especially when the only other one here is Daphne
I don’t wanna dream, I don’t wanna think
I want that connection, I need that link
I don't know when I'll wake up again
But after last night, we're more than just friends
I don’t want the cover, I can’t take it
Trying to act tough but it's harder to fake it
Than it is to let her wrap me in her arms, tell me “it’s alright”
Not like we've ever argued or said things in spite…
What should we do?
Both of our schedules are more than conflicting
Snakes in our lives, more than constricting
We say we need space without even meaning it
Showing our emotions, no point in concealing it
We attacked each other, we pushed each other away
We hated anything the other had to say
“Your people hate me, curse and despise me.”
“Your people aren't better, they're quick to villainize me!”
We pushed and we pulled, scratched and clawed
Then pulled each other closer, ready to bawl
I forgot about what we'd been through, I forgot all the pain
I forgot all the trials and tribulations, forgot all the strain
