Faces by Cigarette Trees

Lyrics

Faces
The years forgot
You’ve got cracks
In the corners of your eyes
Ain’t no surprise
Have you checked the time?
When was it that we last spoke?
I don’t know, but I know that
Busy hands don’t stop for no one
Or nothing
Until we erode
And ebb away Into nothing

Faces
That we’re not
Wearing masks in the broad day light
Walking shadows filled with doubt
“How are you?”
“I’m just fine.”
But it’s all a lie
When we’re crumbling inside
And all we want to do
Is breakdown

We’re just facades through time
Fading away
Complete the circle
We will someday
When it all ends
And we go home

Faces
That are gone
No more sun rays
Forever a part of the earth
Gone back to where we came from
Where do we go
When it’s all said and done?
I want to see my papaw
And dead friends again
In the end

We’re just facades through time
Fading away
Complete the circle
We will someday
When it all ends
We don’t know

We’re just facades through time
Fading away
Complete the circle
We will someday
When it all ends
