[Verse 1: Sans] Not trying to impress, I’m trying to relate To be honest, there’s not a lot on my plate Less busy than I appear, spend most time plotting People seem unapproachable until you watch them Up around seven, read for three hours Then have breakfast, drink coffee, and shower Teach until the evening, maybe catch music But most nights come home, sit alone brooding Is that impressive? Seems like a blessing Is that impressive? Still seems like a blessing [Verse 2: Sans] I been in love a few times, sorry if you’re listening Probably mad that I’m more honest on a beat than when we’re intimate It’s not that I don’t care It’s that so often my thoughts take me away and I’m not there That’s not fair Insert cliche here bout love and war We need a better metaphor cause war requires dying Tired of trying and failing Ships weren’t made for harbor, this body was made for sailing That’s not an excuse, it’s a reason I am the only cause of my heart’s treason Sometimes I wish I could stay And then inspiration comes and it takes me away That’s not an excuse, it’s an explanation This tug of war ‘tween impulse and patience The rope is my soul, strain at both ends While watching partners become my old friends [Verse 3: Sans] I been in love a few times, still don’t know what love is Is it thought? Action? Ritual passion? I don’t know what time is If our memories fade, then did we really find bliss Or was it illusion, sometimes I can’t remember your smile And it hurts me to lose it Need a better metaphor than a boat at sea Cause there’s no love near when I’m floating free
