Someone Else


Liar liar pants on fire
Truth is burning through my desire
Can I keep a straight face for long?
Endurance-testing is for the small
Six of twelve or half a dozen
The first will keep me far from Heaven
Hell is name-brand and well-dressed
The devil's handshake is a caress
Truth or dare, truth or dare
Mainly I choose to remain scared
Scarred, overcooked with a lack of sincerity
Vacuums out all my humanity
Save me from myself
For tomorrow I will be someone else
I promise to break my promise. I promise. I promise
While enhancing all of my beautiful callouses
