I am adept
In the art of being okay
I have mastered the craft
Of covering my troubles
I use all sorts of fancy facades
Acrylic, oil, watercolor
You name it.

I can paint over nearly anything

You will never know
How late I was up last night
Or why.

My eyes flicker
Like candlelight
But you couldn’t see
You couldn’t possibly see
I’m too good
For that.

I can dance, too
Waltzing away my sorrows
Carefully tip toe-ing the
Pas-de-I-am-fine
I get a standing ovation every time

I’m very talented, you see.

But my all time favorite
Is my disappearing act
I’m still perfecting it
Right now
But one of these days
I’ll show you
How I
Slip
Slip
Slip
Away

Right through your fingers.

From broken Morse code
It's hard to convince your mind
That I cared for you

Let’s kiss with open eyes
Show me love with no disguise
Let’s kiss with naked souls
Show me love with no controls
Let’s kiss without a shame
Show me love burn the flame
Let’s kiss without restrain
Show me love don't abstain
Let’s kiss with delight
Show me love the whole night
Let’s kiss everyday
Show me love don’t run away
Let’s kiss until dawn
Show me love turn me on
Let’s kiss under the moon
Show me love show it soon
Let’s kiss while we dance
Show me love and romance
Let’s kiss till we can
Show me love be a man
Let’s kiss till we die
Show me love don’t be shy
Let’s kiss as we used to do
Show me love, as I love you

All I want is one more chance
To live my life from scratch
