Faces

Lyrics

Faces and faces and faces and faces I take the street and you take the paces It was so lonely I couldn't make it I could've known for the love of a lover Ages and ages and ages and ages Valleys are made by the creeping of glaciers I couldn't make it better than it would have been I was a lie in the life of another Faces of races and strangers and wasters Beautiful hatred composed into phrases Vacant and baseless and faded and famous I could've been what you mean, what you couldn't Pages and pages and pages and pages Books set alight in a thousand bright blazes It wasn't hard, but their heart is breaking I look away to avoid going under If you want I could be Anyone, anything If you know how to see Odyssey, vanity It was all in a hive Hold it all, undermine I was young, you were brave I could never be the same Faces and faces and faces and faces Island to hide all the nation's disgraces I blame the blind with their far off gazes Nothing to see and I can explain it I crossed the line and I was impatient I couldn't stay and I couldn't be breaking I took the dead and you took the cages Lies are the best when there's truth in their making Out here where I find you Where your suburbs turn to trees And I see now the horizon You've been hiding her from me You've been waiting for the sunshine You've been waiting for the rain You were waiting for the fire Time to burn these hills again Out here I can taste it There is winter in the air I can hear the mopoke calling I can feel the blackbird's stare And the wind will soon be coming And the river can't be far You got something you can find me Where the waters Where the stars And where I fall (Where I fall) (Where I fall)
