lyrics

Take Your Face Away
(Kerwell/Nelson/Taugner)

We can take all the faces from you,
You can wash them down a drain.
We can take all the wishes from you,
You can leave them and be the same.

Maybe you've got a different point of view.
Maybe you've got better, better things to do.

Let's go down to the window washing,
I like to hear the dust when it screams.
We can watch all the costumes falling,
You can laugh at the diamond rings.

Maybe you could tell me just who you are,
Maybe tell me the truth about your car.

You sit there with the TV blaring,
All the lies falling out of its teeth.
It's your master, lying white noise,
It will keep you dead with its voice.

Something is feeding you stories to believe,
It's your own mind, loving to tease.

Who are you taking on your lunch date?
There is no one I care to take.
You should watch you, from the sidelines,
Who is speaking when everything is fake?

You don't need anything the world gives to you.
You don't need words that claim to be true.

Don't believe them when they say you're born.
Don't believe them when they say you're dead.
You can go your own way.
How do you hold the glory and the pride?
All the words they have, they collide.

Take your face away.
