When I learn to forgive
myself I'll post the answer online
so I can search
and search and maybe find
a thread to stitch it back together.

Identity is like a circus car
all those painted-on smiles spilling out without end
here's the smile you want
no, here it is
dressed up in fancy big shoes
a new red nose, a new blue 'do,
some striped duds that fell off
the last issue of GQ
if GQ was written by clowns

I can never forgive myself
for not being the coolest clown

so if you figure that out
please offer it for cheap on ebay
we'll sell a million copies make a million bucks
I can buy new face paint
scrape my chin blue
maybe that'll make me a clown
memorable enough to never forgive
and not just forgotten
