Face Today

Don't wanna face today
No, I don't wanna face your face today
Last night I broke things
I couldn't break everything
You wouldn't let me when I most needed severing

So I'm still here
And you're right there
Just beyond the door
I'll take an extra long shower
I'm a coward

Don't wanna fake some normal
Where we sit around
And pretend to suck on caramel
In the light of some parlor
Exquisite in the dust beams
Prisms in the windows
To visitors it must seem
Like a quiet old church
Where no one looks at each other
There's a private search
For the god of the specks and the planks
No thanks

Don't wanna fade to black
Though I don't know if I can take it back
I watch the serpent come slither insidious
Offered me wine til we were blithering idiots
I'm not scared
Cause I don't care
What's beyond the veil
That's not what makes me afraid
No I don't wanna face
I don't wanna face it
I don't wanna face today
