Reels of tape, they roll, playing pictures in the theatre of my mind...
Fantasies I created within the documentary in which you and I reside.
-
They played over and over, a decade of construction-
Credits roll for the millionth time in my sleep as I wish for Death's
Destruction.
-
-I wish I knew you better-
-
To the point where I could read your curves to the letter-
Where I didn't have to imagine, fathom who you are now
And who you'd be if you and I were we...
-
I jumped into the fire of your icy blues
Hoping to be ******* burned alive and came out unscathed.
-
God, my head is tired of holding this heavy weight,
These reels I've collected...
And now that fire I wanted to consume me
Burns my theatre to the ground.
-
I close my eyes.
-
Credits roll again.
The one that got away.
