Aletheia

Guarded from the outside in
I caught your eye across the room
No surprise, it's withering and cruel
And blood runs cold
Knowing what we had before
And it's clear as it ever was
The truth of us
This is who we are:
Divided, alone
Ghosts in a shell
It's so out of my control
These walls we can never dismantle
How could I have thought it possible
For scalp and skull to dissolve?
This is who we are:
Untied, undone
Strangers still
This is who we are:
Divided, alone
Ghosts in a shell
We were somewhere gone together
Now the fortress stands as high as ever
This is who we are:
Untied and undone
Strangers still
This is who we are
Untied and undone
