We still can't communicate                                                                                                                     on an even basiss,                                                                                                                                  we keep our responses                                                                                                                   shallow and psuedo deep                                                                                                                      because we feel that our lives                                                                                                           before each other were so cheap                                                                                                              that to stay with one another                                                                                                                  we would have to lie like a mother.                                                                                                        But Im ready to tell the truth                                                                                                                      about my roots.
