Reality
Go through your time
Patches over your eyes
Whilst watching the mime
Acting out a disguise
Until your sub-self cuts
and tears off the strings
Your patches falling to the
floor..... alongside your faith
Suddenly the fairytale
turns black and dark
The miming gets a voice
and the make-up dissolves
You open your eyes and shake
off your stupor and patches
Reality hits home to your
center core..... devastating
For "So long" to a good actor
"Farewelll" to a mime
"Go well" master of lies
"All the best" snake in disguise
Patches over your eyes
Whilst watching the mime
Acting out a disguise
Until your sub-self cuts
and tears off the strings
Your patches falling to the
floor..... alongside your faith
Suddenly the fairytale
turns black and dark
The miming gets a voice
and the make-up dissolves
You open your eyes and shake
off your stupor and patches
Reality hits home to your
center core..... devastating
For "So long" to a good actor
"Farewelll" to a mime
"Go well" master of lies
"All the best" snake in disguise
