False Faces

Oil on canvas

Couplets and stanzas to divine who you are

Pencil portrayals and jealous betrayals

Get you further afar

Oh, false faces and meaningless chases I travel alone

Oh, first places and calendar races I need a home

Hostile hotel walls, footfalls and phone calls

And you're on the line

Gentle coercions and bitter desertions

When the truth is a lie

Oh, false faces and meaningless chases I travel alone

Oh, first places and calendar races I need a home

Lover twice yearly

That last battle nearly cost me the fight

Broke through the ice and got cut down to size

And escaped through the night
