How many times have I scoffed at your notions?

those aren't my beliefs, not my way of thinking.

How many times have I snorted at your opinions?

and I'm sure you do the same to me.



-Why do I stay awake at night?

I'm just like them, I'm just like you.

No matter how much I am different,

you're just like me, I'm just like you.

So alike, we're different, unique just the same,

how many times am I just like you?

Feel the same, see the same, think the same, be the same,

just like you.

Just like me.

I'm just like you.-



How many times do we see eye-to-eye?

pretend we're different, we're doing it just the same.

How many times do we agree with each other?

salivate and squander for the same damn things.



-Why do I feel the need to fight?

I'm just like them, I'm just like you.

The difference of skins, not the difference of minds,

You're just like me, I'm just like you.

The good and the bad, knows no boundries,

how many times are we just like each other?

Want the same, need the same, speak the same, do the same,

just like you.

Just like me.

I'm just like you.-



We're all different in the ways of looks and beliefs,

but we're the same in the most important of ways.

Why do I feel the need to distance myself from you?

is it because you so closely resemble me?



This world is the most difficult teacher,

but we'll learn the lesson somehow, someday.

On the inside, you're really my brothers,

so why are we so Goddamn different?



-Why must we go and learn to spite?

I'm just like them, I'm just like you.

If we cut each other, we bleed just the same,

you're just like me, I'm just like you.

The saints and sinners, guilty and innocent,

no matter the side, we're still the same coin.

Walk the same, talk the same, live the same, die the same,

just like you.

Just like me.

I'm just like you.-
