Fingerprints - One Dollar Short

this bitter pill you have swallowed

washing it down, the hardest part

the taste left in your mouth reminds you

your smile is so brittle, your teeth are so angry

your eyes tell it better than words ever could

i thought sincerity once resided here

it’s been vacated, abandoned, decided,

your lifting corners of what has been swept aside

it is with regret that i inform you

you have failed with frail deceptions

it is with regret that i inform you

you left behind your fingerprints

this bitter pill that you have swallowed

washing it down was the hardest thing to do you hope to see a fall from grace

what has been done, i can never forgive or forget

it is with regret that i inform you

you have failed with frail deceptions

it is with regret that i inform you

you have left behind your fingerprints

(i could never forgive you)
