The similarities between me and you are the same.
So instead of trying or fighting with cries
Why don’t we quit playing this mind-numbing game.

I say we take off these masks and look
Each other in the eyes.
That way we can see all the truth
All the ******* truth. All the ******* lies.

Because lately I’ve been hearing this utterance.
Delivered in a soft voice.
Merely a peep.
But it seems to tell me I’m overthinking the variables.
It’s helping to remind me of the things I should keep.
And you… you’re at the top of that list.

And me… I’m trying to recall what I missed.
