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
