Two people,
Learning to survive,
Fighting for the same body,
One by day,
One by night,
Suffering and longing to be perfect,
So what do we do?

Be happy,
Be perfect,
Be smart,
Be sexy,
Be the perfect lover,
Be sweet,
Be nice,
Be loving,
Be caring,
Be everything right.

And as dusk approaches,
The ducts slowly open.
The fears, the tears,
Everything flows out
Nonstop.
Be a mermaid and live
In the aquarium 
That your tears have enprisioned you in,
And cry, my love, cry it all out,
Before the sun kisses the edges of the sea.
