1430 west san francisco st.

There is another life behind your dark hair, hollow eyes.
There is another past beyond the crowds of young girls and curious boys that surround you
day and night

Sometimes I catch you smiling with satisfaction behind your poker face

because you know, no one knows

I see your parts falling more and more each day
Your shell becoming brittle and breaking
Your letting your mystery slip away

You don’t know, I know

I don’t know where your story started
I don’t know where the figures came into play
But I’ve already read the ending
I know where your turn made one fatal wrong move

No one knows your real name or where you came from
There’s another man underneath your costume
I know because he’s already seduced me
And he’s been telling me secrets you know

Who knew your own shadow would let such crucial information slip?

I don’t know where your story started
But he’s drawing me in piece by piece
The more I know the quicker I can free him

He only comes out in the pitch black dead of night
And he softly screams and sings and wraps his eyes around me

I don’t know where your story started
I don’t know when you split
Late at night I see you smile behind your poker face

Because you know, no one knows

And I smile back because you don’t know that I see you


You don’t know, I know

  This is gorgeous, how often we wear masks, and not even know we are screaming. So sweet to know that others see beneath the surface, I can only guess the others subconcious may know, and more may be revealed.

  this hits close to how i've been feeling. reminds me of lyrics from a fall out boy song. "the only thing worse then not knowing, is you, thinking i dont know." it's like when you know someone better than they know themselves and they're always trying to h

  ..hide their feelings, or who they are. when really you know what they're thinking before they do. it's hard when that person really thinks they're doing a good job being mysterious. i loved this write.
