One Over Two

summer boredom

break my nerves

I'm trying much too hard

to only come this far, and

late nights breaking

the days into

a momentary consciousness

endless bouts with loneliness

self absorption, at it's highest peak

inadequacies, so to speak

or just a fixation on me

the world keeps turning

and this, so often, remains news to me

it wouldn't hurt to see that

I take from all this madness

a hint I had mistreated you

and I know it's not right at all

but I'd take one over two

the door is open

the opportunity

stares in my eyes

so I apologize, and

sit back down

push it off for one more day

it's back to me again

this can't be where it ends, 'cause

sirens ring, the streets outside are

broken up by statues

building up a past that never

lived like we do

and I'll never achieve greatness

while I worship all this emptiness

but I take from all this madness

a hint I had mistreated you

and I know it's not right at all

but I'd take one over two

I'm not trying

to hurt you

No, I'm not trying

to hurt you

summer boredom

break my nerves

I'm trying much too hard

to only come this far, and

late nights breaking

the days into

a momentary consciousness

endless bouts with loneliness

self absorption, at it's highest peak

inadequacies, so to speak

or just a fixation on me

the world keeps turning

and this, so often, remains news to me

it wouldn't hurt to see that

I take from all this madness

a hint I had mistreated you

and I know it's not right at all

but I'd take one over two

I'd take one over two

I'd take one over two

I'd take me over you
