peeking around the next corner
it seems like everyone is hell bent on
picking a fight
but by everyone I don’t mean you or me
sometimes I want you to make me think
and other times I don’t
I’m not sure which is worse
pretending the white elephant
isn’t actually pink
or acknowledging all is fair
in lust and taxation
I didn’t come here looking
for a fight
and neither did you
so I keep on convincing myself
that’s what keeps us separated
from whatever it is
that’s hurting

Actually I do believe most humans are good… so no fight
yes I am with you – no fight
