Peter Hammill - Personality Lyrics

Not the same,
We are changed and we are changing still;
I've been waiting for the beans to spill.
If the truth be told all the plots will unfold:
We've as many lives as we have friends or acquaintances,
We're all only fractions of a whole.

Self-belief
Glues together personality;
Well-accomplished in all vanity,
In a life-long dream the consciousnesses stream
Through as many lives as this: all the voices in our heads.

My brother's keeper
Under no lock or key
Will you always look out for me?

I don't remember, I don't remember,
I don't remember the names,
The essential's familiar, the personality's under change...

Through your eyes
I can see reflections of my own,
I feel I'm losing sight of all I've known
And I'm spiralling down, in the gene pool drowned...
Truth is buried deep and just as well:
We've as many lives as lies we tell,
All the self-taught fragments of fractured personalities.

I don't remember your name.
