What Separates You From Me (On My Side)

Lyrics to a song I wrote for my destined-to-be-doomed band in high school. Ohh, the nostalgia is strong with this one.

A wall of fire

Obstacles blocking to see

Shouting of a liar

This is what separates you from me

Through a key hole

Wall obstruct all I perceive

Pointing to misaligned rows

This is what separates you from me

Unsure of words

Guise of certainty proceeds

Begging me to come first

This is what separates you from me

You visit when I am alone

Step down and crush my glowing stone

Forge yourself upon my being

Influence factors I am needing

Break my window

Do not be ashamed to hide

You've lost all that's been told

This is what is required on my side

Stare through glazed eyes

I'll tear you apart to find

I am what you despise

This is what is required on my side

I've only seen you when you're by yourself

Trying to disguise your own else

Devour through the mason's rocks

You'll need it long before heaven knocks

I never thought you'd come again tonight

                                        I'm here alive as you are

I never thought you'd help regain my sight

                                        You've come by yourself so far

But I don't understand how it can be

                                        It's quite simple, really....

                           I am you

                          You are me

Nicely written about reversing roles though(I've only seen you when you're by yourself
Trying to disguise your own else
Devour through the mason's rocks
You'll need it long before heaven knocks)I feel this could be altered to fit better in rhythem of the poem,but that's just my opinion-----Bill
