Lyrics

ON MY WAY TO LOSING FACE
I TOLD MYSELF THE HUMAN RACE
IS DESTINED TO TREAD BACKWARDS AS IT CLIMBS
I REASONED NO STEPS THAT I’VE TAKEN WERE SOLELY MINE
I RIDE THE BUS WHERE MAGIC’S KEPT
ON WORN DOWN SEATS WHERE LOVE HAS WEPT THROUGH WINDOWS HUNG LIKE PORTRAITS ON ITS SIDE WHILE THE DOORS LOOK LIKE TWO BIG GASHES ON A HIDE IF YOU HAPPEN TO WIPE OFF YOUR FACE
AND THE PERSON YOU’VE BECOME IS A DISGRACE
THEN YOU’VE BEEN REPLACED
WEIGHTLESS LIGHTS DANCE UP AHEAD
PAST SLEEPING FARMS AND CREAKING BEDS
CASTING SHADOWS I KNOW THE SUN WOULD NEVER TRY
THEY FLICKER AND DON’T SEEM CONNECTED TO THE SKY
THE MIRROR AHEAD IS YOUR FUTURE
YOUR POOR EYESIGHT A GIFT FROM THE PAST
YOU CAN’T TURN, YOU CAN’T RUN, YOUR SHADOW WAS NEVER THAT FAST
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
WE PRETEND WE’RE AS SHOCKED AS EVERYONE ELSE CHOOSING ONLY FROM VAIN MEMORIES WHAT IS TRUE
AND THEN WE ACT SURPRISED WHEN PAYBACK IS FINALLY DUE
WELL I’M NOT A SLAVE OF THE MIND I GIVE MINE A BREAK ALL THE TIME UNLESS I FORGET
