Faces Uncovered

How does one survive

When he doesn't care to try?

When he's run out of time

And is overwhelmed by lies,

In whom can he honestly confide?

 

How could one suffer

When his family loves one another?

When life feels tougher,

And the face underneath's been uncovered;

Will he ever realize he's begun to recover?

 

How will you survive

Now that you've begun to try?

Now that you have the time

To make amends for your crimes.

To let go of your life of lies.

To acknowledge why you cry.

Do you believe you're someone in which you can confide?

Maybe it's time to take pride

In yourself; you're no longer high!
