False Faces

Oil on canvas Couplets and stanzas To divine who you are Pencil portrayals and Jealous betrayals Get you further afar. False faces and Meaningless chases I travel alone 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. False faces and Meaningless chases I travel alone 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. False faces and Meaningless chases I travel alone First places and Calendar races I need a home
