Painted Faces
Painted Faces cast their smile
heartache hidden all the while.
Painted faces, sainted trust.
Painted pure, tainted lust.
Empty chairs, friends now gone.
Painted faces turned them on.
No one listened. No one cared.
Painted faces, many dared.
Painted faces straight from hell.
Lonely hearts like teardrops fell.
Token kisses left their spells.
Tricked by painted demoiselles.
Painted faces, trampled hearts.
Warm embraces torn apart.
Strong desires like burning fires.
Painted faces, ice cold liars.
Painted faces, hidden thirst.
Smoky places hide the worst.
Shattered hearts bleed in pain.
Painted faces strike again.
Painted faces phantom lovers
evil intent now discovered.
Painted faces take a life
ghostly white, blood red knife.
Painted faces disappear.
No one knew they were here.
