A thousand faces, too many to describe
First one that I tried
Was a mask that I wore on the outside
It was so raw, it was so raw
And it brought such sympathy out of everyone who saw
Sweet sympathy, but all except for one
One face I looked for pity, and pity there was none
It was so base, it was so base
And I had to have it, I had to steal that face
A thousand faces, I've seen 'em all before
A thousand faces, and still a thousand more
A thousand faces, could one of them be yours?
A thousand faces, and I know 'em all on a first-name basis
A thousand faces, and every day there's more
They take you places unlike anywhere before
I got no memories, one collective, one mind
I got the story, the ones you couldn't find
Every rotation, 333
Every notation bows its head and nods to me
Every mutation, this house we made, we sold
I push it further, push it further a thousandfold
A thousand faces, I've seen 'em all before
A thousand faces, and still a thousand more
A thousand faces, could one of them be yours?
A thousand faces, and I know 'em all on a first-name basis
A thousand cases of blood against the wall
Break your bottle neck, leaving rims of crusted form
I cut into the lifeline on a palm, a hand in hand
When the top's removed, the liquid left expands
From the turtleneck of toads to the lotus on the pond
Skipping over stones to the beat skin of the drum
Spoke a sleep a lullaby
A thousand faces, I've seen 'em all before
A thousand faces, and still a thousand more
A thousand faces, could one of them be yours?
A thousand faces, and I know 'em all on a first-name basis
And I know 'em all on a first-name basis
