Emilie Autumn
Faces Like Mine
[Verse 1]
You say you're curious
Can't leave a thing to your imagination
I wish you'd close your eyes
But oh, you seem so serious
I should enjoy this sweet interrogation

[Verse 2]
You start to hypnotize me
I should not be telling you
I'm flattered by your interest
Who am I talking to?
Could be the demon with a mask
Why should I trust in you?
I don't feel safe
I never did
But what else can I do
But what, you ask?

[Chorus]
Think of your darkest night
Think of your soul alone
If you can bear the sight
Think of the love you've never known
Yes, it's unusual
To live your life this way
All I can say
Maybe that's why you don't see
Faces like mine every day
[Verse 3]
You'd like to stir it up
Just like a sight forgotten 'til remembered
I didn't ask for this but still you hold me in your gaze
And through my lips, the moments I have captured, yeah

[Verse 4]
Still out of reminiscence from a place you'll never know
I find the strength to tell you things I hardly ever show
My mirror holds your severed tongue but in your amber eyes
I see the questions never end, I never could disguise, so why pretend?

[Chorus]
Think of your darkest night
Think of your soul alone
If you can bear the sight
Think of the love you've never known
Yes, it's unusual
To live your life this way
All I can say
Maybe that's why you don't see
Faces like mine every day

[Bridge]
Who will forgive me?
No one knows I've done wrong
Would you believe me?
'Cause I won't last that long
No, I
I wanna be quiet now
All alone back to my shadow
I'm gonna hide behind
The trouble in my mind
[Verse 5]
You say you'll stay around
You finally found the answer to my story
Congratulations, love, so go ahead
Decipher me
And solve the puzzle if you need the glory

[Verse 6]
I wish I could be of your kind
I'd hate to be the one to tell you
How much you don't know
It isn't what I've done
But rather, what I ordered
Certainly, if I give up
I won't be victim to your game
You're only free when you have nothing left

[Chorus]
Think of your darkest night
Think of your soul alone
If you can bear the sight
Think of the love you've never known
Yes, it's unusual
To live your life this way
All I can say
Maybe that's why you don't see
Faces like mine every day
[Outro]
Every day…
