But then acting is all about faking. We're all very good at faking things that we have no competence with.

Driven Under
Do you think I'm faking
when I'm lying next to you?
Do you think that I am blind
nothing left for me to lose?
Must be something on your mind
something lost and left behind
Do you know I'm faking now?
Do you know I'm faking
when I'm lying next to you?
Do you know that I am blind to everything you ever do?
Must be something on your mind
something lost for me to find
Do you know I'm faking?
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she'd used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun

Shades of Gray
She’s smart, she reads
listens to Bach and Debussy
she’s beautiful
but she’s obscene
got a circle of friends
who care, can draw and blend
well with graphite
pencil
But no matter the circumstances
no matter the enhancements
her life makes
she lets herself be selfish
feel a little worthless
cause she knows one day she’ll end,
cause she knows nothing lasts forever
that’s aside the point
It is what it is, and it is
that she’s not what she seems
she seems to think of she in vain-seeming
ways, seen in the mirror
as ragged seams
made to look pretty, glittery,
faking it all in glory
(or maybe faking the faking,
being
fake times two, three, for attention?)
she’s seen but greedy
and needs more.
Maybe she’s in love
with depression,
self-infliction,
too confused to see the infection
gnawing at her without detection
just causing
her to make no sense at all

Showing A Growing Irritability
Faking interest.
With less than half-baked dedication,
Is still a 'wannabee' self indulging on pretense.
Hoping that an expression of devotion,
Nowhere to be shown...
Will produce without the sacrifice,
An experience unknown.
With a proven expertise unseen or exposed,
To the ones showing a growing irritability...
Around those wasting time faking,
And going through the motions.

A mom should be sweet
Not a deadbeat
A mom should be caring

Mankind
You'll be
Going out with radio
Going out with disco
Going out like rock and roll
I'll be
Going out with telephone
Going out alone
To the radar zone
It's all just inadvertant imitation
And I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation
If it's just inadvertant simulation
A pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking?
I'll be playing with my magazine
Using up my Listerine
Like Ovaltine
And you'll be
Dipping in your battleship
For the latest tip
For the latest dream
It's all just inadvertant imitation
And I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation
If it's just inadvertant simulation
A pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking?
If it's just inadvertant imitation
A pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking? (6x)

Want You More!
You had plans all along
Must have seen me coming down
A mile above the ground
'Cos I am weak where you are strong
It's a thrill that makes me curious!
Whatever I'm thinking of
You always seem to know.
'Cos nothing is good enough
There's always something
To keep me guessing
Why does it feel right if you're just faking?
What if you knew you could?
What if you get up on manipulating?
Why does it feel so good?
Drive in the car
Turn up the sound
Gets your head in the ailes
Don't matter, gonna feel the blast
I pick you up, you throw me down
And it only gets more serious!
What could you be thinking of?
You never let it show
Cos you give me just enough
There's always something
You keep me coming!
Why does it feel right if you're just faking?
What if you knew you could?
What if you get up on manipulating?
Why does it feel so good?
Why do I want you more?
Why do I want you?
Why do I feel so tall?
Why do I want you more?
Why do I want you?
Why do I want you more!?
Oh oh oh oooh yeah
What could you be thinking of?
You never let it show
'Cos you just give me just enough
There's always something
You keep me coming
Just keep me coming!

Nothing I Am
Without her love I am nothing
Feelings are so lost without her
I am not faking my pain
I love her, only her
Even though she never talks to me again
Still, I will always keep on loving her
She is truly mine, even though she always keeps on refusing it
Mine, she is mine
Let me hold you, let me hug you and love you
Forever, I will keep you in my heart
Now, my perception of love is very clear
Without her I am nothing and am not faking it
Lost, without her
Nothing I am, without her.

How Can I Fake Some Feelings?
when you fake your orgasm
i know it
by heart, there is no moisture
in my thoughts,
dry
as a desert i walk like a bedouin
without a song
my camel looking for some
water in the oasis
mirage,
we too are mutual
in this faking game
i do not even have to fake
my feelings
loving you
it is the bulb in my head
above the bed
where we make love
in an intertwine
when the light clicks
see another face
forgive me
i have had your fake orgasms
multiple in fact
but i really do not mind
faking my feelings
they are not there anymore
i do not have them
they have long been buried
in the marrow of my
bones
the red blood there
long dried
i do not even remember
where and when

Artificial Sweetener
Oh yes Im guilty
For leasing myself out
Not ready to go up for sale
Cant seem to give it up
Stubborn, so selfish
Im showing off the worst in me
The return of saturn
Assessing my life
Second guessing...
Im full of artificial sweetener
My hearts been deceitful
Its all artificial sweetener
Im faking I love yous
Youre forcing me to
You really deserve love
I want to love you
But I cant seem to find myself
Im wilting effort
Our progress report
Im only sure that Im not sure
I shudder to be honest
Whos behind it all now?
Whos the author?
Im full of artificial sweetener
My hearts been deceitful
Its all artificial sweetener
Im faking I love yous
Youre forcing me to
Re-read, re-write, redo, undo
Im stuck on this page
I was born two weeks late
Is that why I hesitate
Im on the fence
Push me off it
I want to be on your side now
And keep a promise
Im full of artificial sweetener
My hearts been deceitful
Its all artificial sweetener
Im faking I love yous
Youre forcing me to

Spin
friday night, i jumped the line
clubbing with my girlfriends
it's our time to shine
throw a few bones, wlk a few dogs
hanging in the corner, drink and laugh a lot
suddenly there's you
and my heart starts beating
chorus:
spin - everybody's doin'it
spin - everybody's full of it
spin - working their show time,
cheap line, all i really want is a good time
working their....
spin - everybody's faking it
spin - everybody's diggin'it
don't give me that shop talk,
just stop and show me what you really got
verse 2:
so you got a cool ride,
you got your own crib
you work real hard,
put your money in the jar
and you're proud of it
you better not lie, cause i ain't no fool
spinning lies to hypnotize ain't what i do and
suddenly there's you
and my heart's still beating
repeat chorus
bridge:
(i'm real) - all i want is honesty,
(i feel) when someone good is close to me
(let me know) did this moment feel like destiny?
or just a freeze frame, mind game,
playing with my heart
(ad libs)
everybody's doin'it
everybody's full of it - spin
everybody's faking it
everybody's diggin'it - spin
repeat chorus (x2)

Can We Give An Inch or Two
Can we give it more time,
To find...
It can be with us all worked out.
Can we give it more time,
To find...
It can be with us all worked out.
Can we give it more time,
To find...
It can be with us all worked out.
Can we...
Give an inch or two to make it stop.
All unnecessary stuff on our blocks.
Can we...
Make that difference and make it stick.
Can we...
Show more confidence and tolerance.
Can we...
Get off the fence and nurture common sense.
Can we...
Open the door at our expense.
If we don't...
It's never gonna git don'.
'Cause we wanna be bees but we ain't making honey!
Can we give it more time,
To find...
It can be with us all worked out.
Can we...
Make that difference and make it stick.
Can we...
Show more confidence and tolerance.
Can we...
Get off the fence and nurture common sense.
Can we...
Open the door at our expense.
If we don't...
It's never gonna git don'.
'Cause we wanna be bees but we ain't making honey!
And the money from the honey made by bees...
Is giving us the squeeze.
Can we...
Give an inch or two to make it stop.
Can we...
Stop unnecessary stuff on our blocks.
Can we...
Each other motivate without hate.
Can we...
Appreciate each other without debate.
Can we..
Arrive too early and not be late...
To witness the release,
From faking.
Can we...
Give an inch or two to make it stop,
From faking.
Can we...
Stop unnecessary stuff on our blocks,
From faking.
Can we...
Give an inch or two to make it stop.
Can we...
Stop unnecessary stuff on our blocks.
Can we...
Each other motivate without hate.
And faking.

Hippy
I don't wanna be what you wanna be
I just wanna be what's right for me
I don't wanna see who you wanna see
Because your friends are no good for me
You say that love's an open door
I see you walking out but I hear you taking more
Now you wanna kick it cause you dropped on the floor
I don't wanna go where you wanna go
Cause when you go you move too slow
I just wanna see what I wanna be
And now it seems that I wanna be free
I'm hearing what you're saying
But I don't know what you're doing
And I need some things explaining
Cause you're evil and you're using
This giving and mistaking
This reality that you're faking
Can't you justify the feeling
And the pain that you're making

Want to be happy
I look at old pictures
I watch my days pass by
In reality I'm not happy
It's all in my head
I want to be able to smile and mean it
I'm tired of faking everything I do
I've become a good actress
When will my parents see
I'm not happy
Maybe when I leave for college?
Maybe never
Oh how I just want people to see
That I'm not happy

Bring On The Dancing Horses
Jimmy Brown
Made of stone
Charlie Clown
No way home
Bringing on the dancing horses
Headless and all alone
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart
Billy stands
All alone
Sinking sand
Skin and bone
Bring on the dancing horses
Wherever they may roam
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart
Brittle heart
Brittle heart
And my little heart
Goes
Jimmy Brown
Made of stone
Charlie Clown
No way home
First i'm gonna make it
Then i'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while i'm breaking
Your brittle heart
Bring on the new messiah
Wherever he may roam...
Brittle heart
Brittle heart
And our little hearts
Go

Not Living To Pretend
I admit sometimes I can be rude.
I am one who doesn't hide my moods.
Nor do I excuse an attitude.
I will apologize if I have to.
Since I'm not one,
Who falls into an easy faking.
Nor will you find me giving pretense with a grin.
I am not living to pretend.
I am here to either take or leave,
Believe me.
And if it is decided you should leave...
I wont grieve.
Since I'm not one,
Who falls into an easy faking.
Nor will you find me giving pretense with a grin.
I am not living to pretend.
I admit sometimes I can be rude.
I am one who doesn't hide my moods.
Nor do I excuse an attitude.
I will apologize if I have to.

Be Happy At It
Whatever that is,
Making you feel good...
About you and who you are.
Keep doing that!
And be happy at it.
Do not strain your brain,
Listening to a multitude of opinions...
From those who prefer to see you change.
Or those who complain,
About how you are different.
And somehow you are not the same...
As you were twenty years ago,
When you were stuck with a given nickname.
Just be 'you'.
And be good at it too!
Some people seek approval,
Of every move made.
Even faking moods...
If another is not pleased,
With an attitude you've chosen...
They did not choose.
Whatever that is,
Making you feel good...
About you and who you are.
Keep doing that!
And be happy at it.
Refuse to be an addict to habits,
Others enforce...
Because their lives are full of static.
Erratic and nomadic.
And confused!
Just be 'you'.
And be good at it too!

Bad Little Actress
I cant carry on
This play is too long
I must be going
Extend my regrets
I gave it my best
But now Im going
This is too much for me to take
Something tells me that shes faking it
She says she dont care
She wants to be fair
She must be joking
Its simple she said
Lets not lose our head
Tell me shes joking
This is too much for me to take
But somebody isnt faking
Someones heart is breaking
And if you see her give her my critique
Shes a bad little actress
Gets no curtain call
But the worst of all
When the curtain falls
Theres no one at the backstage door
Im more than her friend
cause I knew her when
She was no sensation
Shes wasting our time
Repeats all her lines
Whats her motivation?
Now she wont share her stage with me
Her performance was outrageous
Put me through some changes
So if you see her give her my critique
Shes a bad little actress
Her delivery dont come naturally
Anyone could see she doesnt mean a word she says
Her mascara ran
And the show was panned
But Im still her biggest fan
So when you see her give her my critique
Shes a bad little actress
Gets no curtain call
But the worst of all
When the curtain falls
Theres no one at the backstage door
