Straightface

Call out your castaway
You'll wake up the carrion of a new day
Send 'em out from the castle on high
Talk is talk, solely in your mind
Claim-stake the final words
What goes around is knocking at your front door

Straightface, you're wrapped in
High-flown for hire
Make believe you breathe out
Every one you take

Your viewpoint slant reeks
Just look around to know you've missed it
Proclaimed from protected stances
You wallow in and wear what you've fallen into
You demonize what you don't understand
Doubts surround your heavy, heavy hand

Straightface, you're wrapped in
High-flown for hire
Make believe you breathe out
Every one you take

Better keep the bags packed
Keep your nose clean
Check the shelf life and date
Reticent gonna see you around
Showgirls magazines define your mind's eye
You're a rough draft you're old news
You're a grifter with a funny little hat

Straightface, you're wrapped in
High-flown for hire
Make believe you breathe out
Every one you take
