Lyrical Lies |
An old man gave me a tip, he said |
«Don't waste your time with politics», he said |
«Just chase skirts instead |
And «Life is too short, and you’re almost dead», he said |
«I met a woman once, gave her my best shot |
But never did I talk, and talk and talk |
If I had her back, I’d be real as my age |
I so don’t blame them, I wouldn’t do the same |
But I can blame them |
I’d sing her this» |
And you want to be dressed in poetry |
But imagery doesn’t fit |
And you want resizing |
But darling, dear, get a grip |
And I think what I just wrote is going over my head |
I’m stealing lines from myself |
And what I said was never said |
It’s just a lyrical lie |
Made up in my mind |
You’re moving but not aware |
You’re drowsy without a care |
Except keeping your whites behind your lids |
And your lids are your best canvas |
I can only imagine what you’re painting |
What you’re painting |
And your body on my mattress is proof |
And your makeup on my pillow is proof |
But do you think I’m telling you the truth? |
It’s just a lyrical lie |
Made up in my mind |
