20 | Walking along in the dark is a good way to begin a song. | ||
21 | Walking home in the dark after a long day chasing criminals is another. | ||
22 | Running away from an imagined evil is no way to begin a story. | ||
23 | |||
24 | I am telling you this because you wanted to know what it's like to tell [something so beautiful][] everyone will cry. | ||
25 | I am telling you because I want you to know what it is to keep everything inside of you. | ||
26 | I am telling you. | ||
27 | |||
28 | Can you see? | ||
29 | Can you see into me and reach in your hand and pull me inside out, like an [old shirt][]? | ||
30 | Will you wear me until I unravel on your shoulders, will you cut me apart and use my skin to clean up the [cola you spill][] on the floor when you're drunk? | ||
31 | |||
32 | I want you to know that I want you to know. | ||
33 | Do you want me? | ||
34 | To know is to know. | ||
35 | [I, you want we.][] | ||
36 | We want. | ||
37 | That is why we're here. | ||
38 | To want is to be is to want and I want you. | ||
39 | Do you also? | ||
40 | Check yes or no. | ||
41 | |||
42 | There is a way to end every story, [every song][]. | ||
43 | Every criminal must be caught. | ||
44 | Even those who cry dry their tears. | ||
45 | I cannot tell you all I want because I want to tell you everything. | ||
46 | [There is no art because there is no mirror big enough.][] | ||
47 | We wake up every day. | ||
48 | Sometimes we sleep. | ||
