..they'll give you a description
just so you'll fit into the fiction
when they can't make head nor tail of you,

because that's what those are paid to do.

They'll put you in a pigeon hole
take your body
steal your soul
walking lifeless through the waking dream
and because you've seen it all before
you recognise the eyes that stare
the people standing in the square
the sounds from somewhere over there

and everything becomes a blur
until they turn the page.
