Secrets of a salesman
Capo 2
EThese baby secrets have C#mgrown into children
through Adirty adolescence and Bnow into manhood
F#mI locked the basement Adoor and broke off the skeleton Bkey
Ebut it made no difference C#mstill they travel with me Aeven though I killed them B
they haunt me and they help me
F#mremember the lies in the Ashadows, the practiced chaBrades
my F#mhands are an Aaxe chopping at the Broots
of the F#monly family Atree that could ever bear Bfruit
to F#mcripple you to Amake sure that you C#mnever reprodBuce
another F#mheart of lies, a Ahouse of haunted rBooms
the Aarrow is Bthrown inC#mto your back Anothing has Bever C#mbeen
so F#mdistant andB weak
Adreaded Bwords whispered C#munder her breath "Ayour just like ByouC#mr father"
your Bocean C#mis a drop of BwatC#mer your Bocean C#mis a drop of BwatC#mer
tightly woven wire mesh beneath the broken salesman as he's rolling down the conveyer belt
the product is almost ready to be shipped out the door
out into the world to make a living selling plastic faces to everyone who needs em
to forget the lies in the shadows, the practiced charades
the enemy will make sure the ties on straight
it's always best to make an impression of wealth
no matter how much hatred and debt is boiling beneath the surface
"I love you" spills like vomit from her lips the arrow is thrown into your back
nothing has ever been so distant and weak
the dreaded words whispered under her breath "you're just like your father"
your ocean is a drop of water
I locked the basement doors and broke of the skeleton key
forget the lies in the shadows, don't forget me
