Better Than Me

I'm the hate but you're the anger
We're two branches on the same tree
I'm the flames but you're the embers
Without you there is no me

I'm the stone in your waves water
Thrown by your tide violently
I'm the bastard, you're my father
Without you there is no me

Fight the tide put out the fires
Why won't you stand next to me?
We both need sleep but we won't tire fighting this war endlessly
Climbing high just to fall farther
We're both failing equally
I fucked up and you did the same thing
But I hoped you were better than me

You're burning bridges to reach the water
You could have what you want easily
You're digging holes not building shelter
Falling farther faithfully

I'm the storm but storms bring water
You need me, please, won't you see
Knee deep in mud your hands get dirty
War's never end peacefully

Fight the tide put out the fires
Why won't you stand next to me?
We both need sleep but we won't tire fighting this war endlessly
Climbing high just to fall farther
We're both failing equally
I fucked up and you did the same thing
But I hoped you were better than me

I was the flame now I'm trapped in fire
Begging you to rescue me
I climbed my hill, your mountain's higher
I'll give my life so you don't bleed

We both need sleep, we're both so tired
A chance to lay down finally
I fucked up, you did the same thing
I forgave you
Please forgive me
