Holes in the World

5-17-04

I'm not the whole you see.
I'm not a hole in the world
that sucks you in
as the lies you are unfurl.

I'm not the whole you claim to see.
I'm not a hole in the world.
Your senses cut you short
as I begin to uncurl
                    to everything that you missed.

There's a million people who are worse than me
and sometimes I think it's plain to see
that writing things down sparks repetition
and no one ever seems to remember good intentions.
It's "common sense" meets "matters of the heart"
and I'm thinkin' that you don't know where to start
but all you know is that something's wrong
and if you make me claim it's me, we'll get along.

I'm not the whole you see.
We're not holes in the world.
I'm not a whole to you
like you aren't everything but a girl.

There's a million people who are worse than me
and it'll take a million more for you to see
that it takes one to fuck up and one to listen
or one to talk and another to forgive and
two to make one and make everything whole
or one to drop out and one to make a hole.
Yes two can make one and make everything whole
or one can drop out and both become holes.

I'm not the whole you claim to see.
I'm not in the world to keep making holes.
I'm not the hole you want to be.
I want the two of us to make a whole.

It takes two to make one and make everything whole
or one to drop out and create the holes.
Yes two can make one and make a whole
or you can drop out and we both become holes.
