Dear Someone listening in the shadows;
there you've always been,
indifferent to my fails and faults
refusing to be seen.
You've watched me spill the water from
my ever-shaking grasp,
watched it rise above my head
listened to me gasp.
Poor Little Rich Boy, is that you?
maybe Genius next-door, too?
how bout The Man - A Thousand Faces
or the Lady, laced in laces?
could it be the Meanies? ...Michael whispered about?
or even Human of Years?- Ghost of corporate doubt?
To you, listener of the Shadows,
who you are I'll never know
both Samson and myself are stuck
in 20 Years of Snow.
references Regina Spektor's 'Aquarius, as well as a handful of the other characters from her songs.
