Chasing Down a Scruffier Face

If fear is but a symptom of

A couple laps took around the sun

The greatest tale I've ever spun

Is that I'll leave when kingdom come

And the past is a pretty picture

I have painted with my eyes closed

And the details framed in fiction

Well it takes time, to revise those

Yeah

And a race with father time

Is a race you'll never win

You're forevermore behind til it ends

But I dismiss each milestone

I'm careless as I pass them

Screaming over lessons learned

Wrong turns and hairless patches

I've grown accustomed to my vices

And I'm blinded by my hue

Chasing down a scruffier face

A shape to scared to choose

That I can't take it

I know my face is

Blatant with those thoughts

But am I getting more ageless

If I pay for it

Taking shape in a barbers shop

Don't think I can fake it

If I'm patient

It would be welcome

In the way that I talk

But in conversation

You know that my face is the

Evidence that I'm not

And so the plot thickens

As my hair grows

My face quickens

But the path only narrows

My fate is written by heat seeking arrow

I'm a form yet forn beard

Barely in the area

Transparency is a surface level thing

I'm not hiding in the shadows

That have come to shape my cheeks

I'm embattled by the future that they're foreshadowing

A regression of my character

That's hidden underneath

And a race with father time

Is a race you'll never win

You're forevermore behind til it ends

But I dismiss each milestone

I'm careless as I pass them

Skipping over lessons learned

Wrong turns and hairless patches

I've grown accustomed to my vices

And I'm blinded by my hue

Chasing down a scruffier face

A shape to scared to choose

That I can't take it

I know my face is

Blatant with those thoughts

But am I getting more ageless

If I pay for it

Taking shape in a barbers shop

Don't think I can fake it

If I'm patient

It would be welcome

In the way that I talk

But in conversation

You know that my face is the

Evidence that I'm not
