Postcard Theory (Paradox Blues)

The smile, the insecurity                     Dual denial

Curiosity killed the cat                        Curiosity gives it away

She sings, she cries                             Remembering guilt

Even lies behind a bent back               Truth doesn't seem a choice



The hug, the kiss                                 Dual acknowledgment

Brought on by lack of trust                  Realising jealousy

She pretends, she lies                          Remembering insecurity

There's no existence of lust                Truth cannot be swallowed



The denial, the acknowledgment           Dual paradox

Past ventures never go away                Change is not easy

She frowns, she sighs                           Remembering vulnerability

Memories are stored in array              Truth is not accessible



The laugh, the cry                                Dual extremes

Doubt is in the air                                Understanding feelings

She understands, she relies                 Remembering dependency

I am so unfair                                      Truth hurts even a man
