Counter Act

It's in your look

there's no doubt

I know exactly what it's all about

it's not what you say

I'm listening to

like the air around us

I can see straight through

to your real intention

what you really mean

hidden in the silence

in the space beetween you take advantage

I'm not taking that

I've made my move -

it's a counter act

It's a cold limp hand

in an open palm

it's putting poison in the healing balm

it's eyes that look

all around the room

when to whom you're talking's

right in front of you

the words you use

never break the ice

you take what's yours

then another slice

you take advantage

I'm not taking that

I've made my move -

it's a counter act

Let's make it clear

there's no time

for placing curves on a smooth straight line

the shades of grey

only make a haze

turn a simple path

into a complex maze

standing people up

just to knock them down

keep the vicious circle

turning round and round

you take advantage

I'm not talking that

I've made my move -

it's a counter act
