he used to teach a class concerning chemistry
now he wears many hats, and blends in credibly
you know he'll get away with everything he does
he's everchanging, not the person that he once was
unfulfilled, but overskilled and with a quiet voice
to die in shame or make a name, and so he made a choice
he's risking his reward for something lyrical
now that he's diagnosed and working on a miracle
no, he doesn't care at all
witnesses are few, a new distorted scene
he looks up to the skies, mocking someone he could be
assumes the character, goes to another place
where he's collecting all the memories he can't erase
he wants to feel but everything he touches ages fast
and he confuses distant futures with the recent past
he's been through many roles, costumes and identities
but each of them removes him further from reality
