face to face or side by side I realized you saw them too the structures of a plan that in its flashing failure made us too blind to see so I gave you my lies hoping you would see the truths that repose well within them factorizing my backup plans which had all failed as well then you whisper and I hear your voice again right in my head as if to say "don't use the world to bring you down" as if to say "why don't you let me care?" another memory one more illusion still so young but already gone before I can grasp or even reply like a scene in the shadows drawn by a flickering flame this is not me this is not you this is not what I've seen on a different stage taking my breath taking my life to live away this memory in fear I trade the words I can't let out for some episodes of destructive staticness leading from nowhere to never just to find out I'm not a minstrel with any good songs to play and I'm not a wizard with nice spells to weave and I'm not the person to reveal a side you've never found in meBirth sign: Capricorn
