Symbiont song

i caught your restless eyes in crowd
a fleeting glance
i know i am not allowed
this game of chance
so many years, so many lives
we'd been apart
stay on your side, respect divides
oh, but it's so hard!

and every impulse in my brain
tells me i must see you again
why must we play this cruel old game
of dos and don'ts
the burning feeling in my soul
just once let me lose this control
and then the world will be too small
we're symbionts

to touch and smell, to see and feel
to hold and cherish
sometimes it's hard to tell what's false and real
one move, you perish
i'm knocking on these silent walls
in my despair
i'd give up on this pesky world
to have you there

but every wound that i sustained
reminds that dreaming is all vain
as words come out of the dark like stains
in shiny fonts
and so we wake and go our ways
it's neither ever nor today
this separation is the price we pay
WE'RE SYMBIONTS
