Behold - Count Zero

This tale’s been told a time or two

But I keep forgetting how it ends

My crystal ball is consistently wrong

Sometimes it’s better not to stare

I sink and sit on the ocean floor

Come up to fast and get the bends

Behind disguise, I find you and

Beyond surprised, I’m caving in

Behold, what lies beneath the seen

Life turns like a mouse on a track

We’re blindfolded that’s the twist

Our epic clutters up the cutting room floor

Imagined moments disappear

Nosferatu in a green fright wig

I can’t believe we ever kissed

Behind disguise, I find you and

Beyond surprised, I’m caving in

Behold, what lies beneath the seen
