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
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
