Tapedeck

You play your song, so miserable
And yet the beauty's in my face.
You display your dance, so off
And yet the groove sinks it's teeth.

We came from the same sunrays
And yet the dark keeps us apart.
We ran from the same home
And yet only I made it out.

I promised a life of paradise
And yet I feel like a parasite.
I said we'd live better
And yet your memory makes me shudder.

Those lonely days came after me
And yet I'm drowning in the crowd.
Those solemn days keep coming
And yet they bring me down.
