Lies Are Not For Liars
Transparent tendency to tell the truth, you know everyone loves a liar.
Twisted and tangled and different and awkward, standing on the street where everything
changed.
His world flipped. Tripping on acid, he tried to hold me back.
She watched for a while, lips bitten and eyes staring,
At the spectacle that is us.
Rock and roll circus, just out of town.
Is it compulsion or just horror?
Up all night, trashy girl in the mirror,
Watching, always there.
Hear a vague whisper, hanging in the static air.
‘She won’t disappear or shine too bright, she’ll stay demure, she’s mine tonight’
Fighting off the addiction she looks away but we don’t change.
We’ll live like this anyway.
Love and hate, sunshine and rain,
Drink in the battlefield, dance through the pain.
Pretty and subtle as a shovel to the spine, generic,
Lonely and pretending
Trying to be one of the big boys
Try on mummys high heels and drink till we’re helpless
Rock and roll circus, just out of sight
Unapologetic, tonight’s our night.
I'm not who you think.
