Mile Away

You walk up to me, contentious
 And permit me to finish talking
 I'm distracted by your presence
 You scream over every sentence
 You were standing too close
 The upper hand in your apartment
 Supremacy in a leaking faucet
 Sadness botches your intentions
 And your prized radical opinions
 You assume you understand because your voice is the loudest
 While you borrow our reality, you just can't help it
 The worst part is that you don't get it
 I'm not afraid of you just because I act interested
 Self-congratulatory mess
 Yeah, you keep sleeping good at night
 'Cause you're inherently right
 Understand why she avoids you
 You're acquaintances on a loaded train
 You were spared rejection and it's a dangerous thing
 So you wake up confident every single day
 You retire your own decency, you exonerate
 And you're blaring Nebraska while she
 tortures you from a mile away, mile away
