lyrics

Avatar (16edo)

You got to know me
You took me to your private lair
You want to keep me here
But we don't know where you are
You're right beside me
Yet on a planet far away
I thought I knew you
But you're just an avatar
No one knows who you are
Not even you. Not even your avatar
No one
The path is infinite
To that castle in the air
We are a vagary
A frothy love affair
You're right beside me
Yet on a starship far away
I thought I knew you
But you're just an avatar
It's finally fading what you meant me
You're just an avatar, not really who you are
Just a poorly formed personality
I filled in all the blanks to fit reality
You seemed so real to me
But when you disappeared I had an epiphany
And now you're dead to me
