in a jar of dusty marbles
you don't hold the key
to my memory.
you don't write the script
to my dreams.
you don't know the things
that i long for -
the things i hope
tomorrow's sunrise brings.
you weren't there
in the beginning.
you will not be there
in the end.
all you know is what is
on the surface.
brushing side-by-side,
you call me friend.
you don't understand
the things that drive me.
you don't know the truths
that fence me in.
you look at me
and yet you do not see me.
you hear my voice
but aren't listening.
you weren't there
in the beginning.
you will not be there
in the end.
all you know is what is
on the surface.
brushing side-by-side,
you call me friend.
you like to say you understand
my dogma.
you like to parrot back my
my point of view.
you pay the empty compliment:
you mimic.
a dime store mirror'd make
a fool of you.
you weren't there
in the beginning.
you will not be there
in the end.
all you know is what is
on the surface.
brushing side-by-side,
you call me friend.
