Fictitious Faces
By Charles Bryson
Verse 1
People say they’ll be by your side
But no one shows up when it’s time to fight
Backed up in a corner – no one cheers you on
No one to defend you – so you stand alone
Chorus
I would rather sit in silence – staring at the wall
Than have to sit and face you – while you piss me off
Speak of friendship, trust – all I need and more
Wasting time – I’ve heard it all before
I would rather walk alone – lost without a way
Than to have you by my side – waste another day
Speak of loyalty – all I need and more
Man, you’re killing me – I’ve heard it all before
Verse 2
People say they want to do you right
But when you’re out of sight, you’re also out of mind
Always waiting on that helping hand
Lying on the floor – you just don’t understand
Chorus
Verse 3
People say that trust is only earned
Price must be too high, because they always turn
Leave you standing – waiting in the wind
Crumbling again – fictitious face of a friend
Chorus
Bridge
I can’t take – another smiling face
Quickly betray – without a hint of disgrace
Go your way – I’d rather be ignored
Just can’t take no more – I’ve heard it all before
Chorus
