Faces

Faces and faces and faces and faces
I take the street and you take the cases
It was so lonely I couldn't make it
I couldn’t own to the love of a lover

Ages and ages and ages and ages
Valleys are made by the creeping of glaciers
I couldn't make it better than it would have been
I was a lie in the life of another

Faces of races and strangers and wasters
Beautiful hatred composed into phrases
Aching and baseless and faded and famous
I could've been, what you mean, "What’s your quota?"

Pages and pages and pages and pages
Books set alight in a thousand bright blazes
It wasn't hard, but their heart was breaking
I look away to avoid going under

If you want I could be
Anyone, anything
If you know how to see
Odyssey, vanity
It was all in a high
Hold it all on the mind
I was young, you were brave
I could never be the same

Faces and faces and faces and faces
Island to hide all the nation's disgraces
I blame the blind with far off gazes
Nothing to see and I can't explain it

I crossed the line and I was impatient
I couldn't stay and I couldn't be baking
I took the dead and you took the cages
Lies are the best when there's truth in their making

If you ever find you where the suburbs turn to trees
And I see now, look around you, whippin', hidin’ out for me
You were waiting for the sunshine
You been waiting for me
You were waiting for the fire
Time to burn these walls again

I bet I can taste it, but the scent is in the air
I can hear the robo calling out confused that he’s there
And the wind will soon be calling and the room will currently fall
You are something you can't find anywhere in the stars

(It will fall)

(It will)
