You Know Me

We hangout remotely with pretend friends We share these moments all alone We strive for virtue virtually Self-promoting these stage clothes

We search for soul in every blue forgotten room And they wont know us at all

Once a moment of nostalgia Now forms a sharp repressing cast Abstraction evolves from past lives renewed Through change in latitude we leave behind empathy

Darling, you know me But I don't know you at all

Fifteen minutes of fame (all day long) Self-image we created (self-delusion) Fingertips paint the screen My children will have to teach me And I won't know them at all

In solitude we long for union In union we sell for collected change But how will I miss you if you won't go away?

Darling, you know me But I don't know you at all

No longer intimate No longer physical So I don't know you at all
