So Many Names

Tuck your tongue behind his cheek

Stop his mouth from another leak

Now if only you could stop his hand

 

One thing to another in a different shade

Hang yourself with the ropes he made

He’s such a cynical cakewalk

 

Pray your way free from his silly games

He’s a priest and clown he goes by many names

Either way, don’t listen to his nonsense

 

He’ll put you in my box full of all your friends

Ice cream and candy from end to end

Isn’t he the greatest that ever lived?

 

The food is plastic and your friends are fake

Eyes wide open but your not awake

Hero’s on his way any minute now

 

Knight in shining armor breaks through the air

But he’s the monster that put you there

Yes, he goes by so many names

 

He’s the man you’ve seen from all your scares

Can’t picture him in your wildest nightmare

Far from a dream anyone can see

 

Doesn’t need a mask to make believe

He doesn’t need a mirror to deceive

He’s got so many names, he might as well have none
