Nobody Home

Take off your face there must be truth beneath those layers of painted-on dissemblance Let anything but deception drip from your mouth that gaping yaw of practiced sensibility Look at me and try to hide in that gaze the hardness of your withered heart then try to convince me to stay I didn’t think so.
