The cinematics only show what the director wants you to see I dream of that much control over what people consume of me Exposed to the highest transparency with no filters Hiding in plain sight for the audience to judge Choice by choice, knowing I can't hide the mistakes Holding in the tears that slip out in between sharp breaths My smile only fades when I'm alone in my car Sobs escaping as I reach for end of the film Waiting for a "The End" to come through the dark screen It just keeps shifting to a new shade of blue Another sad story about to unfold to be absorbed Whoever the director is of my film needs to cut to the credits No more to be seen Nothing left Faded to black
