Fata Morgana

I'm turning off ambition like a stove
It's useful but a hazard when left alone

I never speak about love
It's a word I can't define
I don't understand it
It's easier than I'd hoped
To live a life without it
It's easier than I'd hoped
To live a life without it

Let's try an imagination game
I'm me and you are you
And we don't see each other
Although we're in
The same goddamned room
And our bodies are featureless
A pair of plastic tubes
Tell me now do you love me
And would you let me love you
But love is a story part
Love is an afterthought
Otherwise love is a takeover
An activity plan you bought
Let love be its own thing
Like the mystics say
Let it have its own body
Let it walk away
