We only have so many lines Before our books are filled Which describe our greatest dreams And which the ones that rose To fall like Icarus One future lies behind One future will be given This adds it to the play Your role's the final cut Cut out finally to pose Just the one you want to be So many lines that fade away That your memory rarely does read out again When you try to think of nothing And suddenly get caught up In the middle of a moment In an attempt to bring some reason Into this disordered world Wondering if this is right When held into the light Tomorrow as the cause For our yesterday's attempts And then held all inside Like this folded letter You read them all again The messages you never got And those not meant for you Such serious irrelevance It hurts to see it go But those lips still remain sealed Hesitate for one short moment You have all that it takes Or was it all that you have taken Conjure these strangest moments Of lies and plastic make-belief All too common You see these visions pass Just realize they can be changed When you see What they really areBirth sign: Capricorn
