Battle of Someone
|
Music & Lyrics: John Popper
|
|
Well I love no one and I don't care who knows
|
Don't care if you're far away
|
Don't give a damn if you're close
|
I'm the vacant distraction of a broken old man
|
I lack shape or color
|
Not even gray or even tan
|
I'd hate all I see but it makes me too tired
|
I'm much more at home when left uninspired
|
So damn me to hell and resist if you must
|
But lower your eyes once and I'll emerge from the dust
|
|
For I am nothing
|
Yes I am nothing
|
Yes I am nothing
|
And I love no one
|
|
Well I love everyone I am filled with delight
|
I understand all your feelings I don't see from wrong or right
|
I'm the look in your eyes when you're telling the truth
|
I'm the wisdom of age and the beauty of youth
|
I am shape substance color darkest black palest white
|
Speckled gond ringing mirror sharp soft and bright
|
I'm rage passion laughter and the need to know why
|
Come sample all my riches I'm pure stimuli
|
|
For I am everything
|
Yes I am everything
|
Yes I am everything
|
And I love everyone
|
|
Well I can only love someone I am just a person
|
My father loved my mother and I am her son
|
The preceding verses are the halves of my soul
|
I'm just the battlefield and that is my role
|
There's a tug of war between what I can and can't feel
|
The inevitable compromise determines the real
|
The equation the reason for my being here
|
The struggle resulting in my invention of the tear
|
|
For I'm only something
|
Yes I'm only something
|
Yes I'm only something
|
And I can only love someone
|
|
And it's the best I can do
|
It's the very best I can do
|
You're probably someone too
|
So perhaps I love you
|
Perhaps you'll love me too
|
Perhaps you'll love me too
|
Perhaps you'll love me too
|
