she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters
when everything is meaningless

fragile
she doesn't see her beauty
she tries to get away
sometimes
it's just that nothing seems worth saving
i can't watch her slip away

i won't let you fall apart
i won't let you fall apart
i won't let you fall apart
i won't let you fall apart

she reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
hoping someone will see
if i could fix myself i'd -
but it's too late for me

i won't let you fall apart
i won't let you fall apart
i won't let you fall apart
i won't let you fall apart

we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
i'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
…but they keep waiting
…and picking…
…and picking…
…and picking…
…and picking…
…and picking…
…and picking…
…and picking…
…and picking…
…and picking…
…and

(it's something i have to do)
i won't let you fall apart (i was there, too)
i won't let you fall apart (before everything else)
i won't let you fall apart (i was like you)
i won't let you fall apart

Death:

Why are you so cut-and-dried? You cannot make a single reasonable argument
that the Genius 2000 Network is not extraordinary, historic art. In my
accurate opinion. I challenge you to make such an argument.

I think I "get" Chekhov whereas you don't as well, because I'm the truer
genius. You don't agree? You want people to admit damage? You're just
being pedantic man! But that's your call. Purist perfectionist, best a
luck. And what was that huge thing you did, was it war or VR? I swear I'm
curious.

And everyone else also.

I am not.

I don't know Max–if Genius 2000 were extraordinary, you'd know
the worthlessness of 'reasonable arguments'.

There is no such thing as historic art.

> In my accurate opinion.

No such thing as 'your' 'accurate opinion'.

'Truer genius' Max? I have no use for the conceptual black hole
known as 'genius'–and none of my statements with regards to
people's inability toperceive things have got anything to do with
'genius'–also known as over-inflated ego.

Funny how the whole mass of people involved in this parade around
like flippant 2 year olds, while claiming to be intelligent + evolved.
You're not. That the human being must work in order to develop the
senses I speak of has been recognized by anyone of any intelligence–
and it hasn't got anything to do with genius. No, people are not born
fine and perfect as they are.

No, I will not give your project undue recognition.

> You want people to admit damage?

I don't 'want' them to admit anything. 'I' don't 'want'
anything in fact.

> You're just being pedantic man!

Not even slightly.

> Purist perfectionist, best a luck.

Label-slotting + inaccurate.

Condescending remark snipped.
