I'll push people away
and then say I'm lonely,
I'll say I have no friends
and then call us all squaddies
-
Running from the fire I tended to,
I'll leap into your arms
Though I know you'll burn me to the ground
and then you'll raise the alarms
-
I'll accuse you of being mysterious
While building up my own walls
I'll try to break yours down
And collect the bricks before they fall
-
I'll make my own misery
I'll burn my own boats,
Then complain about not
being able to stay afloat
-
Alienated in my own body
Lost in my own soul
Foreign in my own head,
Down a perpetual rabbit hole
Paradoxes don't sit well with me, and yet I create them for myself.
