Splinters

An arm rises
It holds up a hand
I´ve shaken it before
One finger points at the sky
The other used to have a ring
I´ve seen that thing before

A mouth opens
Its lips are painted
I´ve heard its words before
And its breath
Smells of lies and cigarettes
I´ve smelled that smell before
Way before

Shopping for salvation
Or maybe you´re just lookin´
But I guarantee nothing is free
There will be no charity
To preserve your true nature
Besides I get splinters from hugging trees

She despises all the smart and the wise
She closes her eyes
She tries and she tries but she fails to provide
One more surprise

Shopping for salvation
Or maybe you´re just lookin´
But I guarantee nothing is free
There will be no charity
To preserve your true nature
Besides I get splinters from hugging trees
