Faces of Fakery

Indeed you’re not him 
Yet the mentality is like you’re his twin 
I’m no longer trying to win 
I’ve suffered enough from within in his sin 
Tempting me to come in 

Indeed you’re not him
Yet your words are sharp 
As clear as David was playing with his harp
Who told you to make a play for my heart
Isn’t this how all dreams start
But yet and still they fall apart

Indeed you’re not him
The touch of your hand
Give me musical dysphoria from a band
Sinking in brokenness like quick sand
I figured you already had this planned just like he brought me his emotional contraband 

Indeed you’re not him
So remove the mask so I can see 
Begging and pleading with the powers that be
When did you have time to take his class 
Now you’re acting just like his well you know the rest
