I.D.

You and I
Have danced around the issue
And you think by now
I wouldn't really miss you
Yet again we go
On and on forever
Like we're metronomes
Falling out of sync together

I'm the one we both know
That if I were to leave now you'd lose control
I'm not the one who needs you
And to tell you the truth,
You're mind's a tree
I am the roots
I am the roots
I am the roots
I am the roots

Now everything inside of me
Is calling out "are you listening?"
You're causing me
A substantially
Disorienting catastrophe
How hard can coexistence be?

If I could ever stop you in your tracks and ask you why you're here
I would find it easier to justify making you disappear
But I never do it in time
You always get on my mind
It hasn't stopped being the same since you told me your name

Why the fear?
What's the point of thinking like if I am here
You'll soon be on the brink of something larger than
Anything you've beaten time and time again
Hear me out, you're incompleted

I've been keeping this thought
That if I spend all my time as what I'm not
That I would find it in me to tell you to leave but here you are and you won't

Cause everything inside of me
Is calling out "live along with me"
There's something here
There has to be
A harmonizing identity
Are we past resonating?

If I could ever stop you in your tracks and ask you why you're here
I would find it easier to justify making you disappear
But I never do it in time
You always get on my mind
It hasn't stopped being the same since you told me your name

I've been keeping this thought
That if I spend all my time as what I'm not
That I would find it in me to tell you to leave but here you are and you won't
