Friendly Has a Grey Area

lyrics

From the moment I knew you, I should have known better,
Than to think of you so highly and yet,
I thought you to be some godlike human being,
To brush off the hype of my own conceiving.
But I see your name in the books that I read,
And the common places where my eyes should see.
And I see your face when I see your name,
Insert you into the plot, the character you became.

And I tell myself, it’s a coincidence.
That you’re nothing special, and it makes no sense,
But a claw digs deep into the back of my head.
That makes me think there’s something I don’t want to forget.

I wallow in my grief, my melodrama takes hold,
Repeating loathsome incantations, until the words get old.
Nothing would ever stick, in days so few,
But I wonder what is was I could’ve said to you
To make crossing the street take a couple of hours,
To make any words I say at all have ample power.
I made my mistake, but I framed it grand.
I am done breaking tools, I’ll sculpt myself with my bear hands.

And I tell myself, it’s a coincidence.
That you’re nothing special, and it makes no sense,
But a claw digs deep into the back of my head.
That makes me think there’s something I don’t want to forget.

You are ruining me in the epilogue.
