Hard to see it from both ends
Fast to latch on to what you said
When you hurt me, mentally, I went home

Back to my mothers homeland 
Screamed, “I dont understand,
Why is it always falling on me?”
“Well, your shoulders are strong
I understand it feels wrong
But we needed reason to 
make the music touch you”

Never thought of it that way

Good to see it from both ends
Slow to react to what you said
When you hurt me, mentally, I go home
Pretend im on a stage and I
Feel almost everything and though,
I don’t know what to say, 
I can feel a song coming

Both Ends

you can count us out
solace in our own sound
laughing at the crowd
masks are on the ground

speaking with our eyes alone
hiding words from our minds
frightening to be so exposed
but i like it too

I don’t mind
come on inside
I don’t mind

turn them all away
hold me close and then say
no one else allowed
desolate and proud

starting to look just like you
can’t decide what’s not mine
search for myself, found two 
and…
I won’t lie, sometimes,
it don’t feel right  

who am I?
come on inside
I don’t mind
