Advance Upon The Real

[Verse 1: Meredith Graves] I have limitations when it comes to my desiring And complicated feelings on desire and desiring I need constant reinforcement I'm at best a step removed from what's considered natural I'm at worst disinterested in what's considered lovable Love is love But power is power The challenge now is to climb down from the wall and try what might have been Develop and negotiate the secret space there between what I do And what I say regarding fucking [Chorus 1: Meredith Graves] But I won't - cause you I'm God in human form You've never met anyone like me before Stop me if you've heard this one before If you promise to stay drunk or devoted Then I'll do my best to stay for a while And I know you'll never leave You'll love me endlessly But I got no desire left in me [Verse 2: Meredith Graves] I don't understand attraction All attraction involves fear And all fear is desire I'm an advance upon the real Not a step up from others, but a step away I'm waiting in the interim of her and other her and him Too dangerous to care for, too curious to pass by [Chorus 2: Meredith Graves] Too interesting to love But you're cool, so you'll try And for a while things are gonna be just fine Everything is gonna be fine I've been God in a rose I've been woven into quilts and a hundred bad songs And I've done so much wrong And because of me you can't like that one band anymore Stop me if you've heard this one before
