When one falls for another, they rid themselves of all they’ve gained                 When the other departs from the one, the one is left with nothing It’s a constant war you see Like a painting on a canvas, one depicts the other's heart “My, you’re oh so beautiful” The other looks at the one, with a glare straight through the soul “That doesn’t look like me” The other’s never fooled                 Solitaire is unseemly, but love can be repulsive                 It is a quite common dispute for all those existing The other’s lost absorption as the one becomes repugnant And in these atrophies Months are chains, not just years So to elude this common terror, look for more than just desire But find the great enchantment Find the one that makes you strong Find the one that makes you weak

One without the Other
When one falls for another, they rid themselves of all they’ve gained                 When the other departs from the one, the one is left with nothing It’s a constant war you see Like a painting on a canvas, one depicts the other's heart “My, you’re oh so beautiful” The other looks at the one, with a glare straight through the soul “That doesn’t look like me” The other’s never fooled                 Solitaire is unseemly, but love can be repulsive                 It is a quite common dispute for all those existing The other’s lost absorption as the one becomes repugnant And in these atrophies Months are chains, not just years So to elude this common terror, look for more than just desire But find the great enchantment Find the one that makes you strong Find the one that makes you weak
