Shell Game

Chipping away
Gravel on paint
The buckshot of promise
Grazes everything
A crack on the windshield
Spiders crawl across the glass
A future
In fragments

If it could break in reverse
Reload what's waiting for us
You don't have to say anything

Training your sights
Shells on a mat
Clear eyes detained
By a clever sleight of hand
Shills on the sidewalk
A game within a game within
And on and on
To no end

If you could follow the ruse
See more than one side of the truth

You don't have to say anything
You don't have to say anything
You don't have to say anything

Our lives, our homes, where we're always and never alone
Our lives, our homes, where we're always and never alone
Our lives, our homes, where we're always and never alone
Our lives, our homes, where we're always and never alone

You don't have to say anything
You don't have to say anything
