Best Face

Lately
Been lazy
Caught your hell
don't you look swell
we worry
Been patient
You never wrote Back
Spent the last year
Trying to make sense
Backtrack
setback
Filling time
Counting cards
Rolling dice
You'd say "the devil may care"
he sure did not that day
Came from a hard place
You put on your best face
Running around
Playing the clown
And you circled back to
Right round where you found
The last thing
That You thought you'd wanted to find
in the back of your mind
But Then you're never quite rested
And you may you have lost track
Of all the things that you said
Of all of the days and the nights
Just Like the last time
you cracked yourself in half
Or saw some form of light
Bat shit
Crazy
Step right up
Take a bow
Oh, Come now
You know that
We would never fault you
For taking all of the blame
Casting
shadows
Throwing stones
Came from a hard place
You put on your best face
Running around
Playing the clown
And you circled back to
Right round where you found
The last thing
That you thought you'd wanted to find
In the back of your mind
But Then you're never quite rested
And you may you have lost track
Of all the things that you said
Of all of the days and the nights
Just Like the last time
You cracked yourself in half
Or saw some form of light
Patience
And pink slips
And we were
Having so much fun
You hush now
Can't we just
Change the
subject?
And Why would you say that
If you just
Leave it alone
It might all go away
The devil may care
But he sure don't today
Came from a hard place
You put on your best face
Running around
Playing the clown
And you circled back to right round where
you found the last thing
that you thought you wanted to find
in the back of your mind
but then you're never quite rested
and you may have lost track of all the things that you said
of all the days and the nights
just like the last time you cracked yourself in half
or saw some form of light
