Casual Encounters

lyrics

So my friend we meet again
In the least likely circumstances
No honesty in who we claim to be
Shame and lust, like web and dust
Have covered up the best of us
Hiding me from you and hiding you from me

So my friend you thought it'd end
You thought you'd seen the last of it
Addiction or affliction, either way
Point and click to get your fix
Standards only in statistics
Casual encounters growing
More and more and more and more the same

I'll meet you in the alleyway
But never in the light of day
If anyone were to discover
The secrets we keep locked away
We'd see the way that worlds collide
When friends are faced with choosing sides
All the while, the fact remains
You're going to have to face yourself someday

So my friend the story ends
With severed lines of communication
Same old story, nobody's surprised
A one night stand, a master plan
No matter what we've got at hand
The issue that remains is that
We've both been leading double lives

I wish the best to all the rest
Who've lived this life and not confessed
Gone to bed and curled and cried
With stress and wanted nothing but to
Die alone and be forgotten
Rather than to live a life gone rotten
Being afraid to love

If we can learn to love ourselves
The world is ours, we're going to be fine
