A world full of you, who
Fear all that is real, who
lie to themselves and
Fear the truth I might tell

You live with your lies
Surrounded by fear
Of the ones who might know
Of the lies that you fear

Well I know them all
to the big and the small
and before i am through
I may tell them all

Would you beg or plead
or make someone bleed
just to make me keep silent
about all your dark deeds

you fear what the world might think
Afraid of the mark I might place on your cheek
Your every deed out plain to see
How long before you lost it all, but me

Well never fear that this is real
for you are me and i am you
And you would never tell what's real
For what would the world think

A soldier sets out for war
he is brave and unafraid
he slips upon a stone and falls
Alas, he is dead

Today, I put on my face
Just a smile and a nod
for a stranger in passing
as I walk along the way

A different day for a different mile
as I walk into work and smile
but not the same as the first
a wink, plus a smile

I met my love much later
a face of much desire
in the end, did we both share
a secret little smile

Yesterday, I put on my face
A different face for a different mile
and in the end which face was truly mine
why the one without the smile

I face the light
but look away
and the shadow grows
in it's darken way

I can feel it moving
pressed against my back
it slips beneath my skin
and binds me to a dire end

but to face the light
i must face the dark
and expose it all
to cleanse it's mark

but I lack the strength
and my fear is all
to face the dark
I must face you all

Your rejection I fear
i can bear it no more
So I reject the light
and I reject you all

I faced the light
my fear turned me away
so the shadow grew
and swallowed the way
