Our paths will never cross again

And that's the way you wanted it

You never could care less about

The way we ended up

We swim in different circles now

I saw your tracks in snowy ground

And didn't want to follow them

As you fell off the earth

Sightings few and far between

I have no words when they tell me

A figure spotted roaming in

The icy mountain wilds

There was a time I felt for you

Would collect these words like drops of dew

And savour on my tongue

In season dry

And I don't know you

I used to like to pretend to

We're nothing but myths now

That neither of us believe in

You hear how I achieved good ends

Out of the mouths of mutual friends

And shrug and raise your eyebrows

In the way you always have

And with that too they carry rumours of

When someone last saw my movements

A shadow treading through the willows

In the forest land

Messages that reach our ears

Are met with an indifference

I never thought I wouldn't care about you

But here we are

Flung to earth's corners far

We're nothing but myths now

That neither of us believe in

My tongue's forgotten how

To shape your name, the way it sounds

We're nothing but myths now

That neither of us believe in

No muscle memory

No lingering taste

No persistent impulse

To pick up your trace

I left you no note

You left me no sign

Of where I plan to go

Of what you've gone to find

Sweet indifference

Gentle apathy

Wholesome, quiet dispassion

Restful neutrality

We're nothing but myths now

That neither of us believe in

We're nothing but myths now

That neither of us believe in
