Red Queen

Now you've absorbed it into your system

Now that you've allowed it to be true

Now that you've neutralised it, made it safe, made it yours

Now that you've been photographed, recorded

What are you gonna do?

Is it so unsafe when you are

Insecure in the space where you are?

Is it so, really so,

Is it more real?

Is it more yours?

Is it more real, for you,

Than it is for him or me?

And the people who perceive it

Repeat it, distort it, improve it, update it

Slightly change it

And these people believe it

And write it all up for you

And is it more real?

Does it make it more yours,

Now you're recorded as having said it?

And being seen and done it

People have been seen to take notice

So empty

Is it so awful to be seen to feel and fail?

Overheard and noted to authenticate his story

An unsafe male trait

You know what they say

That empty vessels ring true, like bells

Make the most noise

The ink is still wet

In this case, the medium is not

Is it so unsafe when you are

Insecure in the space where you are?

Is it so, really so, unsafe you can't let

Let go?

Is it so unsafe when you are

Insecure in the space where you are?

What are you going to do if they don't believe you?

What are you gonna do?

What are you going to do if they don't believe you?
