Act

Turn your head
I’ve got a trick in store
Go ahead and walk away
Trust me, shut the door
Naively leave me be
Knowing not what you’re in for
Knock before you return
Or find me on the floor

Nothing is as it seems
Your idealism can’t comprehend
Works perfectly for me
My wounds never mend
Eventually you’ll see
The truth I’ll easily bend
My loyalty and your heart
Will break again and again

This straight face is practiced
Deception all it knows
For in my game of showing you what you want to see
Anything goes
All you see it a lie
From my head to my toes
My very relationship with you
Relies on my ability top pose

I cannot protect you from myself
I couldn’t save me
Now you take it full force
I know not how to cease
To turn off this act
So that you can see
But I’m corrupted and confined
To the person I pretend to be
