How many lies
Are in his disguise?
Look into his eyes
And know why he cries

He sits in his home
He sits there alone
He picks up the phone
There’s nothing but tone

His life is a race
He can’t keep the pace
He needs his own place
To hide his own face

He wants a reason to smile
Lord knows it’s been awhile
He wants out of denial
And make his life worthwhile

He missed the starting gun
He needs to really run
There’s nothing left that’s fun
His carefree days are done

There’s no one in town
That can erase his frown
He keeps falling down
There’s nowhere but down
