Decoy Face

(album: Casual Acquaintances - 2018)

Darley had her own views downloaded through hesitation
Eyebrows like a mad clown causing too much salivation
Even while I'm talking I can see her eyes departing
She wears a decoy face while her mind slips away

Everyone's doing their best
Yes I care impressions
This is better yes it's true 'cause I don't want to hear
Their real confessions

So many voyeurs hoping for a good show
Scrappers and lawyers waiting for a stumble
Sharp claws cradling the bubble wearing their decoy face while their mind walks away

Everyone's doing their best
Yes I care impressions
This is better yes it's true 'cause I don't want to hear
Their real confessions

Better not to eat up all the things you wish were true
Though they love you I think you should know you really are alone

The truth of solitude

Thought I hated gambling now every days a deck of cards
Losings got me terrified and winnings what they're calling art
I wear my decoy face while my mind floats away

Everyone's doing their best
Yes I care impressions
This is better yes it's true 'cause I don't want to hear
Their real confessions

Better not to eat up all the things you wish were true
Though they love you I think you should know you really are alone
