Quotes about facade
Facade
A little girl trapped in her knowledge and craft
Came tripping to my room last night
I cooked her a steak and I tried not to fake
And still make everything alright
She had dreads in her hair and problems and cares
She tried hard not to let em show
She was decent and sweet and I was sizin up the meat
But doubts fell in my mind like snow
And when the shove comes down to love
The facade falls down
And when the bricks fall from the tricks
The facade falls down
Its a sunny afternoon and Im sitting in my robe
Im dirty and Im here alone
Theres a story on my table that talks about me
And I want to stuff it down the authors throat
And Im sleeping with someone new every night
And in the morning politely saying bye
And Im nowhere and no one
And I only wanna run

Façade
Success had meant for many,
The acquiring of things.
And a dress to impress façade.
To gain attention and enhance,
A presence others would give approval...
And meaning.
But today a substance is more in demand.
A quality that expresses a genuine-ness...
Is a preference wished on fading deceiving scenes.
A success that impresses is slowly detected.
Folks today are seeking basic ways to live.
Finding themselves to be happier...
In participating in donating their deeds.
When that is done they quietly leave,
Without a need to make pronouncements.
Success had meant for many,
The acquiring of things.

Revealing Layers Of Other Attempts
A façade created,
To establish interest
Does not attract.
No matter what innovations stated,
Went into the making of faking it.
The façade eventually cracks.
And behind the chipping,
Are seen exposed bricks.
Revealing layers of other attempts,
To present what's inside
As something never seen before.
Until the unswept floors
And dust on unkept steps,
Exposes aging and old attitudes taken
For a promised sweeping from a past,
To introduce a total and complete change.
And the expense of not doing this,

To Love The Rainbow
What to do?
Where to go?
How to get by?
Fell in love,
With you
O rainbow
and
Followed you everywhere
Like a child.
Desires of your colours
Colouring my soul,
The deepest colour
Of crimson
melting into pink and white.
Here I have reached,
A point of no return,
Only to find
You long gone,
Your footprints,
A haze of colours

The Building....
sometimes he is so concerned about the facade of the building,
asking if the signage is correct,
the color of the paint,
the metal used,
he walks away,
holds his chin,
takes a look again,
and turns his face
smirks,
he sits on the side of the road
fronting the structure
he is silent
and then comes up with a word
but he does not want to say it,
definitely there will be no changes in the facade
she tells him firmly
just like what her mother did to her dad
whom she always called stupid

Long Stopped Popping Eyes
Where are those 'things'
You retrieved to show others,
You were better than me.
Where is that façade paraded,
Inflated to flaunt my deficiencies.
I have been forced to be 'me' myself.
Relying on nothing and no one else.
But there is a comfort from you missing.
An emptiness witnessed!
And apparently has left you wishing.
Where is that pride and self confidence you wore?
Where is that pulchritude with attitude,
You boasted proudly about...
And no one dared ignore.
Where do you disappear to let your tears flow?
Where do you now go...

She Is Beautiful
Cool as ice yet brittle as glass
A nervous wreck with a sweet facade
You're breaking up
You're breaking up now baby
You're breaking up your life
Into little pieces
Baby
Vanity arrived with fame
How she loved to see her name
She is beautiful, very beautiful
Look at her, and she's a model
Hey girl I love you but you won't listen
To what I'm trying to say
Things won't work out if you plan them now
Don't throw your love away
Give it up, baby
Honey give it up and come back to me
You know your just an able sum
To get more money
For them you're just a product

In Your Eyes
Love
I get so lost sometimes
Days pass
And this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away,
I drive off in my car,
But whichever way I go,
I come back to the place you are
And all my instincts
They return
And this grand facade
So soon will burn
Without a noise and without my pride
I reach out from the inside
Oh-oh
Woah-oh...
In your eyes
The light, the heat
I am complete
I see the doorway

In Your Eyes
accepting all i've done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there's nothing left out, oh
It remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
I will hear your silent call
I will touch this tender wall
Til i know i'm home again
Ooh
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes
Love i get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When i want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way i go
I come back to the place you are
And all my instincts, they return
