Your Blue Pen

You talk in riddles I read between Your eyes say "later" Your mouth says "mean" I saw the map In the mark on your hand Coffee rings on paper Like a small, bad plan Borrowed your blue pen Now I know your game Borrowed your blue pen Still spell my name You write in circles I land the plane Borrowed your blue pen And you can't take it away You laugh like smoke From a fresh-lit match Pretty on top But the seams don't last I count the lies By the pauses you keep Clean little exits And a door half-sleep You want a mask? Put it on in time I can spot a flaw In a perfect line Say it plain Don't dress it up I can taste the rust In the sugar cup One more step And the floor gives way You keep the keys I know the shape Borrowed your blue pen Now I know your game Borrowed your blue pen Still spell my name You write in circles I land the plane Borrowed your blue pen And you can't take it away Now your little smoke screen Turns to paper thin I don't need your version I just need the win You thought I'd fold fast You thought I'd stay vague But I see the outline Under every page Borrowed your blue pen Now I know your game Borrowed your blue pen Still spell my name You write in circles I land the plane Borrowed your blue pen And you can't take it away Borrowed your blue pen I see through the frame Borrowed your blue pen And I leave the stain
