Bored Games
you think you’re hiding from the world
but in reality you’re hiding from yourself
self-deception is the worst kind of deceit
sleight of hand as you try to trick me with your cups and your balls
don’t you know that secrets keep you sick
but the Romantics said they hear your secrets when you’re talking in your sleep
and liars gonna lie down with dogs
and get up with blood sucking fleas
and a case of the gonorrhea guilts
and keep a low profile when you’re sipping suds
because loose liquored up lips sink ships
and now everyone knows it was you in the conservatory fucking over Mrs. Peacock
so be careful to never make promises you can’t keep
and falsely think this means no disappointment can be had
just because there were no expectations
or supposition or presumption or conjecture
because I can surmise that you’ve done this before and you’ll do it again
and it will still be someone else’s fault
because you’re proficient at the blame game
and since the arrow never lands on your number
and because I know how to keep my mouth shut
you will come out smelling like a rose in the middle of a shit sandwich
and you think you’re #winning at this game called Life
and I’m left holding the crusts I cut off for you
because I’m always proficient at Sorry, and not the game, but the apologizing
and I should learn that you’ll never learn
and that I just need to stick with men who only play board games
and not bored games
because I was merely a pawn who filled your time
