The Face Inside
A place in your mind
That's very unkind
Senses what you do
And laughs at you to
It knows your every move
And tries to make you conclude
A decision you make
And make it not be a mistake
But if you choose wrong
You won't live with yourself for long
It will make you break
And make you shake
And if you get baked
You will forever be staked
With a hole through the face
For you did something to break its pace
You took it for granted
It could have helped
But you broke it with such
An aggressive touch
