Be Here I Am (Part II)
Cabernet, dirty glass
To walk on by is still a pass
Our meeting’s been brief but we can still relate
Open mouth, rubber stamp
Feel your way by the light of a lava lamp
My arrows may not be true but they’re always straight
Drive is for people lacking authentication
I am your lover
I am your lover
Right is left, left is right
The middle ground is too polite
The voice of the masses drowning out in cheers
Countersink, counter weight
If you breathe you hesitate
One thing is certain—you’ll never know my fears
Space is for people longing for admiration
I am your leader
I am your leader
Joy and pain, waste of time
To show my scars would be a crime
The unkindest cut is the one I give myself
Ash to ash, dust to rust
I cannot break though I know I must
To the human touch I bid a fond farewell
Love is for people without imagination
I am your leper
I am your leper
