Secrets of a Salesman

These baby secrets have grown into children

Through dirty adolescence and now into manhood

I locked the basement door and broke off the skeleton key

But it made no difference still they travel with me

Even though I killed them, they haunt me and they help meRemember the lies in the shadows, the practiced charades

My hands are an axe chopping at the roots

Of the only family tree that could ever bear fruit

To cripple you to make sure that you never reproduce

Another heart of lies or house of haunted roomsThe arrow is thrown into your back

Nothing has ever been so distant and weak

Dreaded words whispered under her breath

"You're just like your father"

Your ocean is a drop of waterTightly woven wire mesh beneath the broken salesman

As he's rolling down the conveyor 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 'emTo forget the lies in the shadows, the practiced charades

The enemy will make sure the tie's 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 lipsThe 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 off the skeleton key

Forget the lies in the shadows, don't forget me
