The inner you

And the outer you

Live together

In your shoes

 

The outer you’s

So responsible

Making sure

You get to work

 

The inner you

Starts a fire

Causing impossible desires

And heartburn

 

The outer wins

Most rounds

Banishing Inner

To odd hours

 

Slowly taking over

Weeknights and weekends

With worries anxieties

Disappearing friends

 

The inner’s got

One card left

Holding your sanity

In his hands

 

Laughing

Singing the chorus to

“Why can’t we

be friends?”
