when parts take over
	my conversation
	is nothing more than lies

	you're just the viewer
	so cold and distant
	i've no intentions
	of saying "i love you"

		my conversation.

			we are not gods
			we are not men
			we are not making claims
			we are only boys

		you are not strong
		you are not force
		you are not regular
		you are just wrong

				there are no faces
				this is my complex
				you are my picture
				i call you 'mirrors'

				these are not my tears
				not my reflection
				am i a photo?
				i can't remember

					my conversation.
