Faux Pas

For decades now I did my stuff on the fly

Multitask task task... the milk spilt out but I did not cry

I trusted along the way time'll tie up all loose ends

I guess you could say I relied upon the grace of imaginary friends

And I persevered while playing pretend

But I can tell you now, it's not something I recommend

Today I discovered that my faults are carved in deep

Had I 've know what'd been going on

This whole time my laundry hanging off my back and under my nose

I would have lost all sleep and---every link to the outside world, bulldose

I feel so embarrassed downcast and exposed

No one said a thing, but I assume they all knowed

And now I want the ground beneath to swallow me up whole

I wished not for this discovery and prefer I never did know
