don't lift the curtain Don't lift the curtain: oh, people don't care It's called life, though it doesn't paint the truth; It's just a random smear of color Things that imitate our will—and wish And fear, twin fate, hides behind, Illusions are constantly woven into the deep cave. Someone once, I know, uncovered it— He wants to find what to pin his love, But can't find it.And there is nothing in the world The real image can move his heart slightly.
