How Many Faces Do You Have?

You try to act nice

you tried it out twice

you gave me the dice

with your efforts to put everything right

But you talk like a ghost

surrounded by an unholy light

You do your best to shine

but every time you talk

it’s all nails and no chalk.

Your words give me whiplash

I’m afraid my back might snap.

Now I’m like a crazy cowboy taking a snooze on the train tracks.

I wish I was strong

but I can’t hold on

to a person who thinks all is right when everything’s wrong.

So I ask you to leave,

I beg you to go

these curtains needs to fall on your pathetic little show.

You’ve damaged a heart

you’ve screwed up a lot

you need to realize things are not as alright

as you paint them to be.

So stop acting a saint,

it’s kind of too late

to mend this broken bridge 

which you tore down with our faith.

Put your money where your mouth is,

take the car and leave

my life is about to start and I have no aces left up my sleeve.
