lyrics

I recoil at your touch
lie and say I love too much.
That’s what’s wrong with types like us
who postulate, complain and fuss
that there’s no sense of unity 
in what I feel or who I see.
We are what we pretend to be.
We are what we pretend to be.

Why don’t you just be me?

We are what we pretend to be.
We are what we pretend to be.

Why don’t be you just be me?
 
The figure over which I hover,
in reflection, or under cover,
never feels at home despite
the warmth provided by another.
That ghost hangs heavy on my shoulders
And reminds me of the times I told her:
 
What you see and what I see 
will not converge:  This isn’t me.
My mind and flesh have failed to merge,
And both of us are lost at sea.

We are what we pretend to be
Why don’t you just be me?
