Faces

Not of this world
An alien among your own
Black sheep, delusion
Only half alive

You've been told
To change in this game
Conform, be normal
It's life or death

You pay in full
Restrain your strange
To be accepted in their circle

Don't be afraid
You must be yourself
Discard faces never invited

And you endure
Underneath frozen face
Life already decided
Not by choice

Solitary blood
You feel so out of place
Contemplating never before's
Assume same routine

You pay in full
Restrain your strange
To be accepted in their circle

Don't be afraid
You must be yourself
Discard faces never invited

Can't live this way
With dreams thrown aside
Trouble in your heart
Flowing no more

Defiant, be free
Find where you belong
Set out alone and stand apart
And breathe again

You pay in full
Through the suffering
Discard faces that are worn

You sacrifice
Wherever you roam
Finding the way to yourself
