Back to back

You told me your version of a possible world
but it was a perversion of an impossible girl
I told you much more than I thought I did know
'bout the impossible man beyond whom I had to go

      back to back
      so I can't see you
      back to back
      so I can't reach you
      pity but it's true
      back to back

you mixed the truth with lies about freedom and then
constructed alibis, explaining you'd gone
and then my pain imploded and imprisoned me
in time sadly eroded by all that we can't be

       refr.
