Very Funny.

...when I named you, my Little Dark Horse...
...it was because you were small and dark, powerful and unexpected...
...with a wry smile on my lips as I committed it to paper...
...a smile for the fact that you were never going to win the race...
...because you weren't even in the race.

You weren't supposed to count. It was a little joke.
Me, naming you Dark Horse...that was a joke.

A joke just for me, but a joke all the same.

So...
Now that my sketchbook is a thousand imperfect replicas of your face...
And fate has concocted a situation to make you actually count more than anyone ever has...
Now that you've won the race, and it doesn't matter, because you can't actually win the race...

...and you'll disappear, just as surely as anyone ever has...

Guess the joke's on me.
Very funny.

I saw tail lights last night, in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

Hey. It ain't over til it's over, kid. *sigh*
