Poser

from Poser by Neil Howell

lyrics

You know, I was just sitting here playing this old guitar

All of the sudden, I got hungry

So I went into the kitchen

Got me some bread, got me some cheese

That’s right, I made a big ol’ cheese sandwich



Another night banging on the wall

I thought I’d seen it all

I didn’t realize that it was gonna be a crawl



My friends called me up, hey do you want to go?

We’re gonna leave this show

The end’s in sight and that all you need to know



We met up near the five and dime

We were in our prime

Blinded by youth we had no sense of time



Then I saw you there with my ten-yard stare

I needed you, woman

But I didn’t know where to go



Turn around

Burn it down

She laughed and said I was a clown

Jealous now

A fool’s vow

I’m going nowhere with a poser’s crown



Back home again

I had to ditch my friends

Committed surgery with my paper and pen

I remade my mask

A never-ending task

Every note I played repelled future attack

Oh, to be so cool

And not played the fool

Insecure enough to break all the rules

But it’s never enough

You called my bluff

A poser ‘till the end, I am shit out of luck



Guitar in hand, I’ll make my stand

Let me show you all, what you’ve been missing



I’m coming to get you

There’s no escape

A poser takes his shape

And you saw right through my disguise

And looked into my eyes

And saw a pretender

A fake offender

I’m a poser ‘till the day I die
