One of Us

I have never been so terrified of someone
So unqualified undignified

Disqualified
You are disqualified

You have not earned my love
Or trust
The story was always about you
Everything has always been about you

Oh did you miss me you’re busy with
Everyone else
A guru with no followers
A lover with no lovers
A brother with no brother

Oh did you miss me you’re busy
Talking to yourself
Aa guru with no followers
A lover with no lovers
A brother with no brother

You are disqualified from my life
You have not earned my love or trust
Although you think you must
You are disqualified from my life
We are not the same person
Don’t drink the same poison

Tragic upsetting I’ve been waiting for
The day that you come see me again
You want to rip into me
Like I rip into these pages
Put me under your spell
Lurking behind doors
You’re traumatizing me
Who could you mistake me for
Since you think we’re the same person
The same poison

You are disqualified from my life
You have not earned my love or trust
Although you think you must
You are disqualified from my life
We are not the same person
Don’t drink the same poison

You are my pain my loss the story was the story was
You are my pain my loss the story was the story was

Now you go questioning your humanity
That’s why you’re so used to being a victim
But you’re not my problem

You are disqualified from my life
You have not earned my love or trust
Although you think you must
You are disqualified from my life
We are not the same person
Don’t drink the same poison

You are my pain my loss the story was the story was
You are my pain my loss the story was the story was

So now you think that there's a part of you
Who could love someone or who could screw
Things I was tryin to rationalize
I just can’t let it overtake my mind

You tell me to give up the family
I tell you I’ll stay in society
I won’t follow you out into the wild
But maybe someday we could have a child

One of us one of us wants
One of us one of us wants
One of us wants what the other can’t give
One of us one of us wants
One of us one of us wants
One of us one of us wants what the other can’t live

One of us one of us wants
One of us one of us wants
One of us wants what the other can’t give
One of us one of us wants
One of us one of us wants
One of us one of us wants what the other can’t live

So now I think that there’s a part of me
Who could love someone or who could be free
But I’m just trying to be like us again
And baby I know that is no way to win

But this picture always had you in it
Must be removed I have to live with it

One of us one of us wants
One of us one of us wants
One of us wants what the other can’t give
One of us one of us wants
One of us one of us wants
One of us one of us wants what the other can’t live

And it’s an age old struggle
I don’t know why I’m so surprised
I don’t know why I choose this
When I know I’m just gonna cry

And it’s an age old story
I don’t know why I’m so surprised
I’ve gotta swallow up my pride
Got to accept that you’re not mine

I’m seeing what I was so clearly
It’s like I never left
That long drive
Through the Hollywood Hills on Sunset
And I would use all my gas money
To get to him

You need speed to succeed
In Brooklyn and a bike
And I wanted to tell you I missed you in bed by my side
But I just whined
Try to make it seem like I have my own life
Try to make it seem like I have my own life

My fears are fluff to you
My fears are nothing they’re just
Right here biting

Forgot to tell you about the shooting
Shoulda made a list but then what’s the use
It happens almost every day
And you say dark things are happening every which way you look

And I said and I said too much
But it’s just a mantra
And I don’t know how to show you what it really means
That I need speed to succeed
I wanted to tell you that I missed you in bed
By my side

But I just whined silently
and I know you’re tired
And I know you’re tired
And I know you’re tired
And I know we’re tired

Took four trains to get to you
Considered picking up a tree
As a consolation
As if I was in the wrong
‘Cause I didn’t wanna be right

Try to make it seem like we just need some light
Try to make it seem like we just need some lights

And I said and I said too much
But it’s just to myself
And I don’t know how to show you what it really means
That I need speed to succeed
I wanted to tell you that I missed you in bed
By my side

But I just whined silently
And I know we’re tired frankly
And I know we’re tired
And I know we’re tired
And I know we’re tired
And I know we’re tired
And I know we’re tired

My fears are something
My fears are something they’re just
Right here biting
And you’re off on your bike and you’re riding
