Painted Faces

Painted faces
Orange
Black and
Purple
Painted faces
Yellow
White and
Turquoise
Smiles wearing like a jesters smirk
Mischief
Mischief
Marauding about the carnival
Mischief
Mischief
Around, around the carousel
Masqueraded figures all about
Masked strangers
Gold and
Silver
Masked strangers
Blue and
Green
Rainbow masks over painted faces
Do I really look as I seem?
Fun house mirrors
Distorting your vision
Unrecognizable bodies
Fat and
Skinny
Tall and
Short
Painted faces
Like bleeding mascara
Painted faces
Stained like lipstick
Masked strangers
With malicious intentions
Painted strangers
Masked faces...
Blinded by laughter
Screams unheard by the carnival music
Painted faces
Caring not rhyme or reason
Painted faces
Swirling through time in a kaleidoscope of color
Painted faces
Masked strangers
Killing for laughter
Murdering for color
Painted faces...
