Aletheia
Guarded from the outside in,
I caught your eye across the room.
No surprise, it’s withering and cruel,
and blood runs cold
knowing what we had before.
And it’s clear as it ever was,
the truth of us.
This is who we are, we are, we are, we are:
divided, alone,
ghosts in a shell.
It’s so out of my control,
these walls we can never
dismantle.
How could I
have thought it possible
for scalp and skull
to dissolve?
To dissolve?
This is who we are, we are, we are, we are:
untied, undone,
strangers still
This is who we are, we are, we are, we are:
divided, alone,
ghosts in a shell.
This is who we are (this is who we are)
This is who we are
This is who we are
We were somewhere gone together,
(This is who we are)
now the fortress stands
as high as ever.
This is who we are, we are, we are, we are:
untied and undone,
strangers still.
