Finding ourselves
By losing ourselves
In movies & in math
Isolating our variables
& cutting the lights in half
As we set ourselves in obscurity
We start to burn as we watch others shine
& only figure out what we're equal to
As we lose all to the other side
Of the equal sign
Finding ourselves
By losing ourselves
In movies and in math
Determining types of characters
And plotting data on charts and graphs
As each new story shows
The same old themes and threads
We're betrayed but still blessed by design
And as the ones we love
Become numbers instead
The conversion is callous and kind
Cause of what we find
