[00:00:00] Pages - Assemblage 23

[00:00:38] I read your mind

[00:00:42] But it wasn't a very interesting read

[00:00:48] The plot was contrived

[00:00:52] And the characters were too consumed by need

[00:01:17] Page by page

[00:01:20] Enduring each predictable turn

[00:01:26] The paper dissolves beneath my fingers

[00:01:31] And the syllables burn

[00:01:55] The fairy tale you sell is a lie

[00:01:59] But I read the truth behind your eyes

[00:02:04] These words just don't ring true

[00:02:08] And tell me all I need to know about you

[00:02:23] Edit and revise

[00:02:27] Until your conscience was cleared

[00:02:32] I tried to read the words that were true

[00:02:37] But the ink had smeared

[00:02:42] Distorted prose

[00:02:46] Penetrating layer by layer

[00:02:51] Scrawled down for all the world to see

[00:02:56] As if anyone would care

[00:03:02] The fairy tale you sell is a lie

[00:03:06] But I read the truth behind your eyes

[00:03:10] These words just don't ring true

[00:03:14] And tell me all I need to know about you

[00:03:44] I read your mind

[00:03:48] Suffered through every last detail

[00:03:53] I watched you try to make sense of your life

[00:03:58] And I watched you fail

[00:04:03] The fairy tale you sell is a lie

[00:04:08] But I read the truth behind your eyes

[00:04:12] These words just don't ring true

[00:04:16] And tell me all I need to know about you
