Face(s) Lyrics

There's this face I see in the water
As cold as the void inside my soul
That I can't tell apart from my own

So I cut it open wide
To see if I can differentiate the one on my neck
and the one that stares through the darkest depths of my mind
And the familiarity gets hold of my breath

I felt I've been reborn
But the past will never let go
No choice but to shoulder the cost

There's this face I see in the water
As cold as the void inside my soul
So I let the currents fill my lungs
Let the sorrow drown my past

A once guilty memory spreads like tumor within
If death can save me I would dig my way to my grave

I have ruined the lines I have drawn
I have been shackled
The past will never let go

There's this face I see in the water
As cold as the void inside my soul
So I let the currents fill my lungs
Let the sorrow drown my past

Only after the strife I learned to release
And I will run down the stream
To wash away this face of deceit

We bind ourselves to our reasons
Just to feel a little safer forgetting to live
We neglect our true identity
So please tell me

Do you feel just a little safer?
Or are you worn to the bones through denial?
I have only one truth to spare

Only after the strife I learned to release
And I will run down the stream
To wash away this face of deceit

Like the rain, we keep on falling
Not to vanish but to breathe meaning
Into our wounds
Into the defeat
Into our struggle
Into something
