Lyrics
Face First
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Commit yourself, submit to intimacy
To your true self, to the one you forget every time
If you must be vilified
To be purified
You'll be justified
On the inside
Finally alive
I don't know destination, I just wait to find you there
You just hide behind a stare
I don't know condemnation, I just love to take your blame
Take pleasure in the price I pay
No I don't know where I begin and you end
So follow this vein to the heart that bleeds between us all
Commit yourself, submit to intimacy
(Say what you've been told and taught and forced while you complain)
To your true self, to the one you forget every time
You must be vilified to be purified
You'll be justified on the inside
Finally alive
I see endless complication
And limitless frustration caused by everything perceived as flaws
All I know is domination
The effortless equation used to ever feel a thing from you
No I don't feel as if we're still ascending
Fall back down face first and meet the ending
Fall back down face first
And fall back down face first
And fall back down face first
And fall back down face first
I never believed that the door would close on me
As you leave, would I fall back down to my knees?
Say what you've been told and taught and forced while you complain
Say what you've been told and (say what)
Commit yourself, submit to intimacy
To your true self, to the one you forget every time
You must be vilified
To be purified
You'll be justified
On the inside
Finally alive
