Change Your Disguise

it’s a good thing to wear so many coats
so many hats, so many gloves
pull back the layers and change the scene
when the going gets too tough
and it’s a good thing to wear so many shoes
in case you get caught stepping on the cracks
throw the soles onto a pile
and burn them on the tracks
change your disguise
don’t be afraid to cover up your eyes
do what it takes
and step into another lie
and it’s a good thing you always travel light
it makes it that much easier to slip away
no one would recognize you now
with your new face
not even in the broad light of day
so change your disguise
don’t be afraid to open up your eyes
do what it takes
and step into another lie
you were always such a pretty girl
you always turned their heads
you were always full color front page
and now you’re classified instead
and I know it’s hard to wrap yourself in black
the living shouldn’t play the dead
I know it’s hard to disappear into the crowd
and still see the road ahead
but change your disguise
don’t be afraid to look them in the eye
do what it takes
and step into another lie
