I Love You Like You Love Anyone Else

[Intro] [Thick, sliding upright bass groove] [Dusty drum breakbeat enters] [Sampled noise hits] [Verse 1] [Spoken Word, rhythmic and dry] I never knew what I wanted, beyond feeling relaxed, but even that seemed at odds with what nature desired for me. Nature desired for me a lot of silence before causing my head to swell uncontrollably. [Pre-Chorus] My head remained so large for such a long time, so big that I constantly woke to check that it was true. But it wasn’t. [Chorus] [Melodic, droning, catchy] “I love you, I love you, I love you like you love anyone else,” (Was my constant refrain) I saw that the truth was true, and could do nothing to help it. Yeah, could do nothing to help it. [Verse 2] [Bass line continues, stripped back drums] In that moment, I understood that the truth was everywhere and to see it required no effort whatsoever. “I don’t like this feeling of simple truths,” I told my mirror when he and I met for breakfast yesterday, “it’s not really my thing.” [Hook] “Your mother told us that you wanted to be a singer,” my mirror said. “And a singer must always know the true feeling of feelings.” [Bridge] [Tempo picks up, manic rhythmic chanting] I raised my head in an attempt to be kind and replied: The feeling I’ve got now, well, that’s my feeling I told him. It’s a feeling feeling of feelings of correct ideas of feeling feelings in a world that has feelings of truth in the world. [Instrumental Break] [Sampler solo, chaotic jazz noise] [Verse 3] “I think I’ll have a better time with feeling feelings if I am by myself.” But listen, (and this is what it was) it was that I didn’t know, I didn’t know the feeling. [Outro] [Groove locks in, fading out] It felt like feeling like everything was possible. Like some things were about to sort of happen. And some things did. [Bass slide] Ooooo, I made a move.
