Can't let anyone see my shadows Can't let anyone have my time Hoard it all to myself, by myself The flash of a spinning reel in my head A fast flicker for my own eyes Brightness numbs my abject devastation Accruing consequences The film is overexposed A harsh example for how I live my life Losing detail approaching Fin But it keeps spinning, spiraling out of control Spinning, I don't know I just don't know Accruing spectators They're here to watch some secret footage Sit back, relax, enjoy the show But I'll never know If it dies with me, if it dies with you
