Lost Face

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce

The face that I'm about to lose

I'll change it into something new

To give myself a different view

My ex-eyes could only see the world from behind

Someone else crossing the finish line

Reminding me that in this race

I'd always be out of place

I put my lost face on a pedestal

So have a close look at it now

Remember what appears incapable

Is not what you see, but how

My ex-ears could only hear the urging word

Pull yourself together, follow the herd

Like a threatening flicker away

Knowing I'll always be inadequate

My ex-mouth could only make fake phony boasts

Crossing over what I fear the most

The truth exposed, I dropped behind

Excuses I couldn't find

I put my lost face on a pedestal

So have a close look at it now

Remember what appears incapable

Is not what you see, but how

So ladies and gentlemen, I have given up

'Cause my winning streak was to stop

Measuring strength in a common game

My answers are outside the frame

I put my lost face on a pedestal

So have a close look at it now

Remember what appears incapable

Is not what you see

I put my lost face on a pedestal

So have a close look at it now

Remember what appears incapable

Is not what you see, but how

But how, but how

But how, oh

How, oh

Woah, woah
