Water to ice
Coals to fire
It goes from one
Straight to the other

One gets colder
The other hotter
As soon as it hits
The turning point.

At first it’s real hot
Then it turns icy
No indication of when

We get into fights
We settle our squalls
I always give in,
You never relent.

You’re like the ice
Cold and unchanging
I’m like the fire
Always getting hotter

Why we can’t compromise
I’ll never understand
We just keep fighting
Never letting up
There is no compromise
For the soul of discontent
The fighting continues
Week after week

I try not to let it
Affect all other parts
But it’s not just one thing  
It’s a whole with you

I can’t figure it out
It never stays the same
It’s always something
Not ever nothing

So I have to decide
I have to choose
It’s you or myself
Because this is a zoo
