I’ve painted a connection between us in my head,
but it’s a fantasy, you’re not my friend
You don’t remember me at all, I’m painted into a corridor wall
We brush paths and you become a part of me, I visit you in my lonely thoughts fondly
We collide again by chance by fate, you’re confused by the gaping smile on my face
I made a connection between us in my head but it’s a fantasy, you’re not my friend
You look away and I die to your eyes once again
I was left behind by the migration wave, found hospitality in a dark silent cave, I didn’t grow parallel, I withered and strayed and in my lonesome grove I remain
My heart undernourished, my hope overgrown, I look down upon you drenched to the bone
After a depressing night I crawl back alone, no one’s waiting for me at home
When you smile at me in the manner of a clone, I have to pretend you’re someone I don’t really know
I continue on and let my ritual regret flow
I try not to think of you more than you do me,
I try not to paint your face into my memory,
My hopes grow so high, my heart begs to be fed,
Your eyes dance past mine,
you are not my friend
