Third Minute Personality (Transitioning)
The second song I ever wrote on a guitar, and that explains the very low key it sits at in my voice. It’s about what it says on the tin. In a way, it connects to Starcrossed, as one more face of the same sort of thing. To me, it also connects to She Ain’t Been Well, as a macabre type of prequel.
We lock ourselves in rooms to remain undiscovered. How much do you want to be discovered?
Third minute personality
Why do you always come back smelling lime dust?
Not bound to any other one
Tied to the ages of doing what you must
Not minding any other way
There seems to be no reason to despair
After all, there is no chance to say
It’s not like they’re gonna know
What’s going on in there
And maybe you are all alone
Yes, you may be just left here on your own
Like a shadow on the light of a lampshade
Your memories, your memories will start to fade
Maybe your dreams are true and they’re real tomorrow
Maybe there’s time to speed up time and run
Maybe we spend the rest of our lives together
Maybe we learn that there’s no other way to learn
I know that we’re being taught
I just hope that soon you’ll reappear
Like the Devil on the edge of a crossed path
I know, I know I’ll never be lonely here
Such sweet sorrow
