The Perfect Smile
i took so many bad choices in life
i screwed up even when i had a wife
i can play the game of blame
But its time i face the shame
Disappointment i have left
My life now is in a cleft
In my being the sun has set
From now on only sadness i will get
We know about sins of the father
i pray God won’t let it go further
It’s all ripped open raw
Now everybody saw
A flawed human being
Running up the hills fleeing
Away from eyes judging
Hiding all my smudging
Doing drugs to feel better
But being called by a debtor
Selling your soul to the highest bidder
Praying the debtor will reconsider
Losing loved ones in this awful race
Still barely have courage to save face
