Words In This Empty Mind

Words In this empty mind, I'm your shadow that fell behind, In a world so dark and stale, All your strengths are yet too frail, So beautiful is the mind that is free, So malice is the mind that can't see. You tell no one everything, You tell everyone nothing. You see Life without fate, You love with all your hate, You dress all your ways with lies, You dance upon your alibis, Your path so cold and frozen, You're last but the one that's chosen. You have told me everything, But now you tell me nothing. Hate and love run through my vain, With the intention of becoming sane, Within these walls I can begin to feel, We cannot touch what you conceal, Words In this empty mind, I'm your shadow that fell behind,

I like the line: "You dance upon your alibis." I also liked the way you structured the (repeating?) couplet.
