Say It Ain't

Do you have a freaking soul 

 But maybe even that is sold 

Lookit all the deed you sowed 

All of it and say it ain't so.

You dupe my smile

I guess that ain’t nice

The glint in your eye

Gives you away outright

I turn my back on you

You turn yours on me too

If I walk away

Do you walk away

If I fetch a sneeze

You will fetch a sneeze

I pluck my frown

On your face when I frown

When I hurt inside

Though outside I smile

You return my smile

But do you hurt inside

You’re just a copycat

And that’s the plain fact

You’re like my shadow

With the lipstick on

You’re as sensitive as dry twig

That cackles when trampled under feet

You’re full of hypocrisy

That’s why you’re stuck in fantasy

You’re the deadest thing

Cause you describe me in detail

Yet you don’t know me

Your humanity pales

In light of compassion

You can reproduce in fashion

And that’s the whole nine yards

Beyond that

You’re a house of cards

You do not have a heart

It’s dark where you’re at

You’re like everybody else

You lack a unique sense of self
