faceless - bookish songs collective, victoria carbol & phase shift (de) lyrics
[verse 1]
cry your tears
i like it better that way
crooked fears
fingernails are bloodstained
when all that you own
is the breath in your mouth
traded for lips
that command you to bow
who are you now?
[chorus]
play the game
never let them see you falter
take no blame
freedom is an altar
spend your name
just a penny for the slaughter
call me faithless
i am not faceless
[verse 2]
hand in the gold
and one in the dirt
push against the tide
and you’ll only get hurt
child of the wasteland
sharpened for blood
carve your bones into steel
or you’ll drown in the flood
who will you become?
[chorus]
play the game
never let them see you falter
take no blame
freedom is an altar
spend your name
just a penny for the slaughter
call me faithless
i am not faceless
[bridge]
can’t go too far
unless you fail
(give it everything, leave it on the scale)
finger on the trigger
of a heart for sale
if wrath doesn’t serve
and you swallow your hate
(bite it down, chew it up, and take the bait)
oh, what will you do
when you become what you disdain?
[chorus]
play the game
never let them see you falter
take no blame
freedom is an altar
spend your name
just a penny for the slaughter
call me faithless
am i faceless?
play the game
never let them see you falter
take no blame
freedom is an altar
when your name’s
just a number for the slaughter
all that is faithless
and i am faceless
