TWO-FACED SELF

SO HIS CONSCIENCE PULLED HIM BACK
JUST ANOTHER LOST LOVER TIED TO THE TRACKS
HE WROTE A NOTE TO CARE TOMORROW
WASN'T YESTERDAY ENOUGH

GAVE HIS HOURGLASS ANOTHER CRACK
TIED HIS HANDS AND PRIDE BEHIND HIS BACK
HE KNEW THEY'D CRY WHEN THE SUNSET SIGHED
SO HE NEVER CLOSED HIS EYES

MET HIS FATHER IN THE MORNING MIRROR
AND RUBBED HIS SELF ESTEEM TO MAKE IT CLEARER
THAT HE'S PROBABLY NOT AWAKE, SO BLOW IT OFF

SHE WANTS HER PIECE OF THE LIQUOR STORE
BUT DON'T SHE KNOW THAT THAT'S A MYTH
YOU WANT TO HIDE FROM THE REAL YOU, WELL BE MY GUEST
OH BE MY GUEST - GO AHEAD AND HIDE YOURSELF

WON'T YOU SHOW ME WHO TO FOLLOW & I'LL MAKE THE LEASH MY FRIEND
IF YOU'LL STILL BE HERE TOMORROW DON'T YOU SAY GOODBYE AGAIN
FOR THE HARDEST THING TO KEEP IS A PROMISE TO YOURSELF
SO DON'T YOU EVER TURN YOUR BACK ON YOUR TWO-FACED SELF

THREW OFF THE TABLE BY A NEW ROULETTE
HE COULD'VE SWORN IT WAS A SAFE BET
BUT HE'S GOT MORE LIES THAN SENSE, SOUND FAMILIAR?

SHE'S FALLING BEHIND OR PULLING DEAD WEIGHT
SHE CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE HER MOVE, MAKE HER MOVE
WHATEVER IT IS SHE DON'T KNOW - & I DON'T KNOW
