How you gonna act?
What you gonna do?
Or say to keep me
at bay thrown off guard.
I’m still a mystery to you
You don’t know what makes me tick;
how the mind is working.
The plot will thicken
I’ll let down my guard
and you’ll penetrate my defense shields.
You’ll think you got it;
found the key to my soul but
I’m still a mystery to you.
You just can’t put your finger on it
and feel the pulsating fever
that percolates in my heart
But you can’t touch the fire
if you can’t find the fire
I’m still a mystery to you
You’re like a rat in a maze
or let’s be nice
and make you a lovely dove
trapped in a labyrinth.
Every corner you turn
leads you into another wall
or blocked off thru-way
The nearer you get
the further you go
the further you go
the nearer you get.
You tell me know I feel
as if you know
but you don’t know
cuz I’m still a mystery to you
All the veils of secrecy
protect me from your glances
X-ray vision can not penetrate
the defense shields remain intact
very much to your chagrin
And my posturing will
continue to perplex your
leave you confused; trying to get a grip
on what is going on
I’m still a mystery to you
and I revel in it
My masks are on;
the dark sunglasses conceal my eyes
block out inspection
and I gleefully exult
in the mystery I remain to you.
Ouch
"...you can’t touch the fire
if you can’t find the fire..." Bravo
especially if the fire is a
especially if the fire is a hologram.
