find my Dorian Grey  
somewhat sorrier, greyer  
and as night follows day  
and reprieve follows prayer  
find the face that once was  
can't be found on the canvas  
having never found Oz  
though no longer in Kansas

gone, the bluster of youth  
I've replaced it with caution  
wrinkles tarnish my truth  
sickness ravages motion  
should have known that the portrait  
would turn out this bad  
this is what it was for  
you might say I've been had
