Faces, your face is
Sweetness, grittiness
Nothing can change this
Your absence I can�t miss
Bound by rules; don�t wanna be
Feeling this inadequacy
Were you strong? Were you mature?
A contradiction? Of that I'm sure...
Mull over and over
You were so hungover
Memories floodover
You never were my lover...
Watch you die against my will
Thoughts recorded in a pill
of colour; moving and still
Who made the final kill?

sit
all alone crying screaming
at your picture on the wall
you've got no right...
don't want to think
about this right now
neveragainneveragainneveragain
still drawn to your two bright shining deadlight
headlightscrying screaming
headbang
destruction
frustration
it hurts again under the
dirt
suffocating in
sand
it mustn�t be very
comfy
is it
oh well its somewhere to sleep

claRe
clare stands there
the carnival passing her by,
while the clowns are laughing
people are dying,
frightened by their own feelings
the Funhouse is frightening
she stands just inside,
and tries to keep her mind off the coming
the coming sound
clare stands, the wind rushes by
a warm wind
with the smell of
cotton candy and
hot dogs and
rotting flesh
the Carnival is not what it seems
her life is less complicated here
the sky is dark
but is it night time?
here, it's always night time
where she stands, they don't see her
no one sees her face in the crowd
she hides in the back now
where only one can find her
she sits in a pile of popcorn
she wonders where he went
why won't he come back now?
clare cries hard
the birds watch as the
girl opens the bottle
takes one last look at the
clowns
the trapezists
the lions who still need taming
and she falls away
the birds are pecking at her skull now
her eyes are empty
her body shakes
as her soul leaves its home
clare watches the people
as she walks by again she waves
trying to be polite
why don't they see her?
why?
they're all so rude
i know they see me
don�t they?
she looks down
down
down
the girl looks down and sees
herself
crying
lying
dying
dead

FACELESS
faceless and nameless
nothing can change this
completely anonymous
nothing can change this
i am a ghost
no one is here
if I try to speak
you cower in fear
i�m afraid to fade
dont blow me away
cant face all the hate
i'm dead anyway
i just want to scream
i cant let it out
like a pot full of steam
i just want to shout
cant let you see me
you cant know my pain
still afraid to hurt you
i pretend i'm the same
