I am the two-faced disappointment
Lurking in the corners of your mind
I am the independent excuse
Stabbing you through the heart from behind
I feel the rain when others feel hands
As a lover unafraid of pain
I feel scattered and biased and rash
As though my screaming was all in vain
I think in straight lines of black and grey
That by no miracle bleed colour
I think of ways to hide lack of thought
Like an unused knife getting duller
I believe in peace love and knowledge
Gracing everyone's life but my own
I believe what I convince myself
Rejecting and insulting false thrones
I play with chance like some play with decks
Grinning wide when I pull the fool card
I play not on words I play with them
Like best friends on a hateful schoolyard
