Personality

Peter Hammill

    Continues after the ad

    Not the same,
    we are changed and we are changing still;
    I've been waiting for the beans to spill.
    If the truth be told all the plots will unfold:
    we've as many lives as we have friends or acquaintances,
    we're all only fractions of a whole.
    Self-belief
    glues together personality;
    well-accomplished in all vanity,
    in a life-long dream the consciousnesses stream
    through as many lives as this: all the voices in our heads.

    My brother's keeper
    under no lock or key
    will you always look out for me?

    Continues after the ad

    I don't remember, I don't remember,
    I don't remember the names,
    the essential's familiar, the personality's under change....

    Through your eyes
    I can see reflections of my own,
    I feel I'm losing sight of all I've known
    and I'm spiralling down, in the gene-pool drowned....
    Truth is buried deep and just as well:
    we've as many lives as lies we tell,
    all the seld-taught fragments of fractured personalities.

    I don't remember your name.
