Cracked in several different pieces lies a mask bound by the school of flesh A clever tool used to blur the lines Between a saint and filthy wretch Archaic would be the best word to describe The spring snow I ought to see And yet there's still something beautiful about suicide I think Mishima would agree But these metaphors are every bit as absurd As the films you made me watch Silent whispers never heard And yet again I ruin the plot In the mood for love Yes, that's all you've ever been Like the sudden slap of a glove A life once hidden now is seen Somewhere there is a man I used to know Better yet revere Blood stains red springs gentle snow Giving way to flowery years There is death before dishonour If not of the body then of the mind As summer winds blow warmer So do memories fade in time
