AGED TEEN - The Real Me, The Real You testo lyric

TESTO

The Real Me, The Real You
In retrospect, they never met
They touched each other nonetheless
While drunken or in dreams

A haunted house in the outer space
The wretched future, the shiny past
The fleeting present I seldom cross
The shadows and the lights dancing on the wall

What started out as love
Was just a masterful self-portrait
And what you supposed was laughter
Well, it was utter desperation

And afterwards we will rise our cups
A secret toast to what we hid or lost

Dried out, dried up
Severed head, severed heart
It took all these years to figure out
That both of them were torn apart

I carefully
Covered all my mirrors
The book of secrets laid before me
Dusty, cobwebbed and untouched

What started out as love
Was just a masterful self-portrait
And what you supposed was laughter
Well, it was utter desperation

And afterwards we will rise our cups
A secret toast to what we hid or lost

What seemed to be a choice,
It was simply condemnation

And afterwards we will take off our masks
There'll be time to cry when we'll be alone again

Now I'm painting the walls of my old fallen down home
I dance and drink alone with the shadows of my past
