me vs. you
walking two different paths
making all these different stories
but we know they don't last.
you breathe the future
but i choke on the past
you're on a luxury cruise while i'm fixing up my mast.
you think we're similar
i think we're unlike
'cause you can escape
i won't make it out alive.
the monsters inside
their tricks made to lure
but you don't have them 'cause they attack the insecure.
where did it go wrong?
i ask every day
you got out for free, but there's a price for me to pay?
why am i in debt
but you can get away?
why can you skip to tomorrow but i'm stuck in yesterday?
me vs. you
living two different worlds
praying they can hear our voices
all the words that we hurled.
you bear a halo
angel wings unfurled
but i'm dragged by my demons into the underworld.
