~Black Coffee Blues I know you You were too short You had bad skin You couldnt talk to them very well Words didnt seem to work They lied when they came out of your mouth You tried so hard to understand them You wanted to be part of what was happening You saw them having fun And it seemed like such a mystery Almost magic Made you think that there was something wrong with you Youd look in the mirror and try to find it You thought that you were ugly And that everyone was looking at you So you learned to be invisible To look down To avoid conversation Read more: Henry Rollins - I Know You Lyrics | MetroLyrics Yeah, I think I know you You spent a lot of time full of hate A hate that was pure sunshine A hate that saw for miles A hate that kept you up at night A hate that filled your every waking moment A hate that carried you for a long time Yes, I think I know you You couldnt figure out what they saw in the way they lived Home was not home Your room was home A corner was home The place they werent, that was home I know you Youre sensitive and you hide it because you fear getting stepped on one more time It seems that when you show a part of yourself that is the least bit vulnerable someone takes advantage of you One of them steps on you They mistake kindliness for weakness But you know the difference Youve been the brunt of their weakness for years And strength is something you know a bit about because you had to be strong to keep yourself alive You know yourself very well now And you dont trust people You know them too well You try to find that special person Someone you can be with Someone you can touch Someone you can talk to Someone you dont feel so strange around And you find that they dont really exist You feel closer to people on movie screens Yeah, I think I know you You spend a lot of time daydreaming And people have made comment to that effect Telling you that youre self involved, and self centered But they dont know, do they? About the long night shifts alone About the years of keeping yourself company All the nights you wrapped your arms around yourself so you could imagine someone holding you The hours of indecision, self doubt The intense depression The blinding hate The rage that made you stagger The devastation of rejection Well, maybe they do know But if they do, they sure do a good job of hiding it It astounds you how they can be so smooth How they seem to pass through life as if life itself was some divine gift And it infuriates you to watch yourself with your apparent skill at finding every way possible to screw it up For you life is a long trip Terrifying and wonderful Birds sing to you at night The rain and the sun the changing seasons are true friends Solitude is a hard won ally, faithful and patient Yeah, I think I know you
