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 a 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
