Alibi

Candlewax
Melts into my skin while I am
Barely dressed
Worried peering eyes will catch
The first offense
Uncovering the faulty signs of
My pretense
The tracks are traced
And you can't find the energy
To count the cards I've dealt but you can't see
A broken hand
And I don't have an alibi
To hide the facts
So you won't realize the truth
Is just a forgery

Oh, doctor please
Stitch up all the fiction that's
Enclosing me
Endless gashes surely aren't just
Make Believe
Close the door, so I can sleep
Eventually
But sitting here
I'm going over the handlebars
Stop me now before I fall apart
And crumble down into a million pieces
Of broken art
Shattered by the one so picturesque to watch
The fragments break away

Oh, it's hard to breathe knowing I'm to blame for everything
Oh, it's hard to believe I'm the one to blame for everything lost
I could never explain to you
What was going on inside my head
The tidal wave isn't over yet
