Sugarcoat

Dip the truth in sugar. Now it's safe to eat. Point the twisted finger. Don't admit defeat. Carve your name in stone, just to tell your sons. A caper bent on error, and twisted by the gloves. Mark my mind with paint, what a wild taste. Echo promises before the big erase. Leave a jar on every step, you've promised and you've broken. You're not one for the people, an elitist for the tokens.
