Lyrics: Emilie Autumn. Faces Like Mine.

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 the sweet interrogation

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?



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



You'd like to stir it up

Just like a sad, forgot until remember

I didn't ask for this

But still you hold me in your gaze

And from my lips

The moments I have captured

Still I'm in reminiscencance

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 the questions never end

I never could disguise

So why pretend?



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



Who will forget me?

No one knows I've done wrong

Won't 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



You say you'll stay around

You've finally found the answer to my story

Congratulations, love

So go ahead, decipher me

And solve the puzzle if you need the glory

I wish I could be of your kind

I need to be alone

To tell you how much you don't know

It isn't what I've done

But rather what I hold inside

Even if I give up

I won't be victim to your game

You're only free when you have nothing left



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

Every day
