Not that I am going to remember

we can find someone to love
and make it last. - Rush, Ghost Of A Chance

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall,
and with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost.
It rises now before me,
a dark and silent barrier between all I am,
and all I would ever want to be.
It's just a travesty, towering, marking
off the boundaries my spirit would erase. - Kansas, The Wall
