I long, like you long for a place to rest my head You long, like I long for a warm silky bed I long, like you long for the lights to finally dim And you know, like I know I do not want to float I would rather swim And I know, like you know I long, like you long I am tired, like you are tired of the anomie And I am scared, like you're scared Of disenfranchise and insanity I drown, like you drown in a hidden river in the woods And I frown, like you frown At how our methods have failed us I wait, like you wait And I hate, like you hate And I regret, like you regret Like a wildfire in dry hills Like an animal scratching its cage Like an exploding light bulb I run, like you run.
