What We’ve Become

If you need proof that I’m crazy I’ve got some for you
If you want reasons to hate me Got some of those too
Wish I was like water But I’m my step-father The will of a mountain Refuses to crumble
Or am I the palm tree Just out our window It sways side to side
How she laughs as the wind blows Ha ha
*
If you want a fight I can light this place up We could dance room to room as
The smoke fills our lungs As the smoke fills our lungs Is it what we’ve become

Is this what we’ve become Is it what we’ve become

If you need reasons to love me Just open your eyes
I’m still the same woman I was You took me for your bride Like a pen moves on paper
Sooner or later we come to the edge You say I must escape her
Or build a prison of pillows at night time A fortress to block out the sound
Of the wind chimes
*
If you want a fight I can light this place up We could dance room to room as
The smoke fills our lungs As the smoke fills our lungs Is this what we’ve become Is this what we’ve become

This world we’ve created
Not entirely hated
This animal that needs you But love don’t I feed you Don’t I feed you my love
*(X2)
Is this what we’ve become Is this what we’ve become Is this what we’ve be-
