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

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
Written about an old close friend who turned out to be extremely maniacal and fake.
