Understanding
I would like to dance
Maybe you would, too
Sometimes life is fun
I am upside down
You are far away
Everyone's selfish
We all want someone to share our story with

Hello, old friend
How are you doing these days?
It’s been a while since we've talked
I'm not sure what I should say

Silent wave of emotion
Cynical praise of feigned devotion
Violent wave of emotion
Beneath a thin film of plaque in the back of your mouth
Violent wave of emotion
Behind a thick layer of lies on the tip of your tongue
Violent wave of emotion;
Grit your teeth to bite back the notion
Tell me everything you ever wanted to do
Tell me everything you ever thought, ever knew
Dig through your memories
I know there’s life behind those eyes
Like learning to paint
You can scrape together love and cry
Our expectations were taught
It's through no fault of our own
Still you can see their thoughts and slit their throats
I'll tell you everything I've learned of going away
Try to convince us both that one day I will be ok
