Like We Are
Location
These troubled souls torment me
They scream against injustice
But they don’t know how to see
And I don’t know how to leave
It destroys me to hear their cry
Who am I to say nothing?
Because I don’t know how to fly
And they don’t know how to believe
Oh, why do we enjoy their art?
I know them and understand
Because they have my heart
I know them because I am like they are
These demented souls feed
They feast on your sacrifice
But they don’t know how to bleed
And I know because I can’t leave
It burns me to fight
Who am I to do nothing?
Because I no longer know what is right
And they know because they can’t believe
Oh, why do we play their part?
I know them and understand
Because they stole my heart
I know them because I am like they are
You tried so hard to bring me life
You tried so hard to make it a treasure
But I can’t take this strife
I have to make you a memory
It destroys me to read their stories
Who am I to keep dancing?
Because I don’t know how to fly
And I’m stuck in the damned cavern
Oh, why do we hate so much?
I know them and understand
Because I accepted their touch
I know them because I am like they are
You tried so hard to bring me truth
You tried to so hard to make it a pleasure
But I can’t be your proof
I have to make you a tragedy
It burns me to sing their lullabies
Who am I to keep singing?
Because I no longer know what is right
And I’m buried in this pattern
Oh, why do we love so much?
I know them and understand
Because I drank in their touch
I know them because I am like they are
Darling, please show me again
Oh darling, please teach me
Give me your amen
Make me leave
It destroys me to paint their art
It burns me to play a part
Because they have my heart
Because they stole my heart
Oh, who am I to say nothing?
I know them and understand
Why do I hate so much?
I hate them because I am like they are
Darling, please show them again
Oh darling, please teach them
Give them your amen
Make them believe
It destroys me to write their stories
It burns me to dream their lullabies
Because I accepted their touch
Because I drank in their touch
Oh, who am I to do nothing?
I know them and understand
Why do I love so much?
I love them because I am like they are
