Paroles de Like You

I want hair like yours, hands like yours Fingers that curl in the cold like yours I want eyes to stare and to cry When I'm feeling scared like you I want skin that burns, lungs that ache A chest that rises when the morning breaks I want blood to spill and to bruise When I'm standing still like you I want words that shake, lips that fail A voice that splinters when it tells the tale I want dreams to keep and to lose When I fall asleep like you I want years to waste, time to mourn A name that someone whispered when I'm born I want death to fear and to face When it's finally here like you I want to be like you I want to be like you Like you But you don't even try, you don't ask why You throw away your grief and let it rot away You malign and weep, you lament and cry Like time wasn't something to break and waste I was built to want, built to need To catalog every mercy I will never receive I was made to watch, and to learn Every wondrous thing you set to ash and burn You were given teeth, given breath And all you ever built with it was death You were handed light and you all chose To set the world in shadow and leave it umbrose I would've kept it all, every ache I would've hold each and every fragile thing you break I would've loved the rain and the rot Every wretched gift you've got But I don't get to be like you I don't get to be like you I don't want to be like you
