It's me versus the alibi
Hold your breath, and take me down
Somebody should be screaming
I'll pick the worst of two roads
And I'll bend the fork that binds them
Reflections in shallow spoons
Shallow pools
So much to see in such a short time
Your words wash over me
Cleansing and destructive
Steel wool on marshmallow
Step toward me, scared
Afraid to be awkward here
Eyes scan, left to right to left
And I'm waiting for your advance
Smile and wave, they said
Smile and wave
How are you? It's the worst
Possible question to ask
Because it always gets deceit for a reply
"Fine" works just fine
We'll both use that and skip
The formalities entirely
Save your breath, and take me down
Somebody should be screaming
But no soul dares speak
It's me versus the lies
And I've never been too clever.
