The Thousand Faces of Lies - Death Decline

The man of a thousand faces Sits down at the table Eats a small lump of sugar And smiles at the moon like he knows her And begins his quiet ascension Without anyone's steady instruction To a place that no religion Has found a path to or a likeness His words are quiet like stains are On a tablecloth washed in a river Stains that are trying to cover For each other Or at least blend in with the pattern Good is better than perfect Scrub till your fingers are bleeding And I'm crying for things that I tell others to do without crying He used to go to his favorite bookstores And rip out his favorite pages And stuff 'em into his breast pockets The moon, to him, was a stranger And now he sits down at a table Right next to the window And begins his quiet ascension Without anyone's steady instruction To a place of no religion He's found a path to her likeness He eats a small lump of sugar And smiles at the moon like he knows her

I stand surrounded by the walls that once confined me Knowing I'll be underneath them when they crumble, when they fall With clarity my scars remind me Ash still simmers just under my skin Indifference smiles again So much I hide How is stepping back a move forward? (Why) now I'm forced to look behind I'm forced to look at you You wear a thousand faces (you know it's hell) Tell me, tell me which is you (and you know it well) (So) broken mirrors paint the floor Why can't you see the truth? You wear a thousand faces (you know it's hell) Tell me, tell me which is you Tell me which is you Eerily time made no change Pointing fingers, laying blame Lying over and over and over and over (over) Deceiving your mind Dug my grave, trashed my name Yet here I stand, so you won't fade away Indifference smiles again So much I hide How is stepping back a move forward? (Why) now I'm forced to look behind I'm forced to look at you You wear a thousand faces (you know it's hell) Tell me, tell me which is you (and you know it well) (So) broken mirrors paint the floor Why can't you see the truth? You wear a thousand faces (you know it's hell) Tell me, tell me which is you I bleed inside (oh, I bleed) Just let it out (you got to let it out) Just let it out (Got to let it out, that bullshit) I bleed inside (oh, I bleed inside) Just let it out (you got to let it out) Just let it out (just let it out) Let it die! (Why) now I'm forced to look behind I'm forced to look at you You wear a thousand faces (you know it's hell) Tell me, tell me which is you (and you know it well) (So) broken mirrors paint the floor Why can't you tell the truth? You wear a thousand faces (you know it's hell) Tell me, tell me which is you Tell me, tell me, tell me You wear a thousand faces Tell me which is you Tell me which is you
