The Actor
I live inside
A mask, built
With four walls
And four corners
I've cut
And while I poke
Holes with my
Knife-shaped fingers,
I'm still refused
The pleasure of
God-given air
My lips have
A job, and
Are there for
You,
"At your service!"
But they receive
A payment worth
Nothing more than
God-given air
God-given air
God-given air
God-given air
God gave me air
And the oxygen
Feels lacking in its
Supply
And my words
Are proven at the
Testimony
As false witness,
Lies
