Perfect Subterfuge

Perfect lies turn into truth in subterfuge The spy is under the radar of what you do I love you for who you are What you have done is inconsequential Come with me anyway Drive into darkness on the chase away Under the caustic moon Forget the day as it has limits When the story is through Ends on shadow tides beginning That finds a wall in front of us In a crash defined as fatal Fades with the car, in the ecliptic, measured dark Encrypted messaging that found what Broken glass half empty in the fog We escape to find The enemy is us Not soon forgotten
