Injuries To The Persona

I’ve been blowing off steam
And you were just a dream
Now I have no interest in your lie
As you try to be something for which I’d die
You throw lines across the screen
But I am what I’ve always been
And I offered you my sacred heart
Because you make the pain look like art
And I’d love to draw
On the blank pad of a great thaw
But you recede into the ashes
And the storm front clashes
With itself on the verge of a thunderclap
You were like finding treasure on a map
All well and good but not the real thing
And I know you know how to sing
But you are no pied piper to tune
Me to the rhythm of being in the room
When you announce your engagement
It would only cause enragement
On my behalf
So I think I’ll skip that laugh
And go off on my own
And my spirit has grown
To inhabit the form
And I was so warm
To you when you met
And you so cold when you say you forget
I ain’t got time for that
And you may want your hat
Back from whoever stole it
But it is not a role I roll with
So take up your cross and follow the line
I’m okay if you’re not mine
