The Back Cover
by Shane Cooley

I’m a warrior
With no medals
I’m a fighter
With a bruise
I’m a trooper
With limits
I’m a conman
I can disappear in minutes

I’m the lover
Over-demanding
I’m the best friend
Left standing
I’m a victim
Without pretense
I’m a killer
With a conscience

But no one cares to look
At the back cover of the book
They just dive in and read

You’re a villain
All typeset
So obvious
Yet ignorant
You’re a thief
Of sunken treasures
Obsessed with guilty pleasures

A pretender
You say that you like me
If you can’t run faster
Then you’ll out-write me
Quick as a whip
With your comebacks
Taking a trip
On some kind of basement drug

But no one cares to try
To break to the other side
They just turn the volume up and drive

So I’ll meet you on the back cover
I’ll meet you on the back cover baby
I’ll meet you on the back cover
I’ll meet you on the back cover baby

I’m a warrior
The war is over
I’m a warrior
The war is over
Over
Over
