It's Like Everything Else

You

You love me like I'm rich

And you hold me like I'm stitched

From God's corium

And you

You give but it's heavy

You heal but you levy

Everything's for you

So you tell me

That your father

Cut himself

And spawned you all

You're begotten

I think I got it

It's like everything else

You

Invite me to the reckoning

Of follies that felt sickening

And denied to me and you

Relegated to the act

You

I wish you had a clue

I wish you had an in

I wish you had an answer or anything between

I wish that I could hide

So deep inside this head

Praying for an out

Oh, I wish that I was

There

Better than you are

Better than you hoped

Better than your hopes for me and burning like a star

So I could follow back

Only to see you then

And I could cut you and begin
