Box of Faces Lyrics

I walk down a crowded street full of people

Just living their lives, trying to hide from the evil

That lurks nearby But there's a church nearby, see the shadow of a steeple

And that there is the cross I bear

For my sins, God gives me that cross I bear

It's not a win, it's a loss, I swear

I'm ready to give in and toss my flair

Cause I'm running out of options

Keep making wrong decisions and it don't look like it's stopping

I used to be a free spirit just like Janis Joplin

My motherboard is fried, can't remember how to log in

No, I'm headed down the center of a rabbit hole

And if I'm lucky, I will never find my way back home

I'm better off gone If I'm gonna be a chess piece, don't wanna be a pawn

In this game called life, it's probably best you move on

Cause I have so many demons that I have to prove wrong

Life will take you under if you let it So don't wonder if you'll get it

Just do you and don't regret it There's a balance, don't upset it

Every challenge, just accept it As a way to gain some credit

For your life, just don't expect it Gotta work for every second

Check yourself before you wreck it Check your wealth before you're naked

Check your health before you're dead And ask for help, just don't expect it

Move in stealth and resurrect it Never let them shelf your message

Get it out and never let it go unheard before you exit

I move at the speed of a cheetah Not talking about infidelity either

No, when I bring it, I'm bringing the ether Now I need a breather

I'm drowning in an ocean of thoughts in my head

And visions of the future when I'm in my bed

We wake up with the rooster and do it all again

If time is currency, then we don't have enough to spend

That's why we gotta make friends and make plans and

Take trips, fly away in spaceships

A cat stuck in a glitch, we live in the matrix

If I'm on your playlist, I'm just glad I made it

Cause when we're broken, we get wasted

The taste of defeat, you can really taste it

Sometimes we don't wanna deal with what we're faced with

So we numb the pain, so we don't have to face it

I had to numb my own, so I took it to the basics

And got so high when I heard that snare and bass kick

Everybody comes with a different box of faces

They put a new one on when they go to different places

Life will take you, wonder if you let it So don't wonder if you'll get it

Just do you and don't regret it There's a balance, don't upset it

Every challenge, just accept it As a way to gain some credit

For your life, just don't expect it Gotta work for every second

Check yourself before you wreck it Check your wealth before your naked

Check your health before you're dead And ask for help, just don't expect it

Move in stealth and resurrect it Never let them shelf your message

Get it out and never let it go unheard before you exit
