War Paint

I painted this paint on my face Brick by Brick I'm tainted and strengthened Confined in a candy shell Having learned the art of not caring Or appearing not to I went to the corner store and bought these colors When I realized I had no time To deal with insult and injury I have chafed from the weight of this globe on my head And attempted to throw it in a mud hole I couldn't quite do it Though I wanted to tell quite a few to go to hell I realized I still care I hate myself for it But I can still pretend that I don't By simply turning up my nose and looking as busy as possible.
