Veneer
Watching me look at you
Taping up a bowl of watered glue
That's cheap but fills up the holes
It numbs the pain but stunts growth
I rather talk to your machine
Sometimes it tells me more than what it seems
At home you can be who you are
Greeting us from afar
My metal particle star
I've seen her around propelling self through an aerosol can
She's on the surface of everything
But she can't break the skin
You get what you paid for
Now you want your money back
I wish I could but I can't help
When all you spent was yourself
Scared to death of anyone
Looking less scared by comparison
You run towards an ATM
Yeah you'll show them 346 is your PIN
Precious open your eyes
You are all that you are this life
Inside yourself is a magic place
Where you don't need a knife
Your car is beautiful
But like a fish in the rain
Well so are you
