This song works as any could. I remember a woman who danced with words her way into my life. I remember being in awe, struck and nervous. I always get nervous if the girl tells me they are with someone. It's in my moral fabric. She later, in my head, became an envelope in my mind, the hurt that didn't hurt that much, but just enough to pinch my heart. We often recollect emotions to music, and this is the one that comes to mind.

The war was lost The treaty signed I was not caught I crossed the line I was not caught Though many tried I live among you Well-disguised I had to leave My life behind I dug some graves You'll never find The story's told With facts and lies I had a name But never mind Never mind Never mind The war was lost The treaty signed There's truth that lives And truth that dies I don't know which So never mind Your victory was so complete Some among you Thought to keep A record of our little lives The clothes we wore our spoons our knives The games of luck Our soldiers played The stones we cut The songs we made Our law of peace Which understands A husband leads A wife commands And all of these Expressions of the sweet indifference Some called love The high indifference Some call fate But we had names more intimate Names so deep And names so true They're blood to me They're dust to you There is no need And this survives There's truth that lives And truth that dies Never mind Never mind I leave the life I left behind There's truth that lives And truth that dies I don't know which Never mind I could not kill The way you kill I could not hate I tried, I failed You turned me in At least you tried You side with them whom You despise This was your heart This swarm of flies This was once your mouth This bowl of lies You serve them well, I'm not surprised You're of their kin You're of their kind Never mind Never mind I had to leave my life behind The story's told With facts and lies You own the world so never mind Never mind Never mind I live the life I left behind I live it full I live it wide Through layers of time You can't divide My woman's here My children too Their graves are safe from ghosts like you In places deep With roots entwined I live the life I left behind The war was lost The treaty signed I was not caught Across the line I was not caught Though many tried I live among you Well-disguised
