It's only a reflection
A scuff of chalk on slate
A notional connection
You'd love to contemplate
But wait — there's more!
We're open to suggestions
If they affirm our fears
Before we all erected perspex spheres,
Our perspectives benefitted from our peeahs's idears!
It's only intertextual.
It's no more intellectual
Than taking an apprentice.
There's only a reflection
Encoded and collected
Encrypted in a cipher
You'll git it when you get it
Listen, loneliness is wretched.
Your mission:
Should you just accept it? (No!)
Something's different;
What's with all the questions?
Call me superstitious, but
I'd rather leave it where we left it--
C'mon. Everyone's dancin'.
You're trapped in your head
But the past doesn't matter
Until it happens again and again.
Look at them!
Every single one, dancing!
If we'd never met,
I bet you'd be happy,
Laughing with somebody else
But instead you're upset
Because every one's dancin'.
It's only a reflection
Another nosy interjection if you care.
It's potently pathetic to split hairs
Between growth and progression.
You'll get there though
You're up against a headwind.
It's shocking just how hard something can blow!
You say I'm unenlightened,
Meanwhile, you're just a nihilist.
Besides, the brightest diamonds
Come from bituminous coal. So
While initial estimates
Suggest they're out to get us,
Conjecture isn't evidence —
It's only a reflection.
Don't you get all sentimental now!
Just fetch the weapons.
An institution threatened
Must defend itself to the death
But don't ever be afraid, honey, everyone's struggling.
Be it fame, money, sex,
Or just suffering,
It's never too late in the game
To give up and escape
To the desert or something...
I'm wond'ring if you're waiting for a
Change that isn't coming, 'cause
All you want is to fall in love again
But we are breaking uuuuup
While everyone's dancing.
I wish I was out with them.
Is this really how it ends?
Or will we pretend it never happened?
