Lost Face
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce
The face that I'm about to lose
I'll change it into something new
To give myself a different view
My ex-eyes could only see the world from behind
Someone else crossing the finish line
Reminding me, that in this race
I'll always be out of place
I put my lost face on a pedestal
So have a close look at it now
Remember what appears incapable
Is not what you see, but how
My ex-ears could only hear the urging word
"Pull yourself together, follow the herd"
Like a threatening flick of a whip
Knowing I'll always be inadequate
My ex-mouth could only make fake, phony boasts
Glossing over what I feared the most
The truth exposed, I'd dropped behind
Excuses I couldn't find
I put my lost face on a pedestal
So have a close look at it now
Remember what appears incapable
Is not what you see, but how
So Ladies and gentlemen, I have given up
'Cause my winning streak was to stop
Measuring strength in a common game
My answers are outside the frame
I put my lost face on a pedestal
So have a close look at it now
Remember what appears incapable
Is not what you see
Oh, I put my lost face on a pedestal
So have a close look at it now
Remember what appears incapable
Is not what you see, but how
But how
The face that I'm about to lose
I'll change it into something new
To give myself a different view
My ex-eyes could only see the world from behind
Someone else crossing the finish line
Reminding me, that in this race
I'll always be out of place
I put my lost face on a pedestal
So have a close look at it now
Remember what appears incapable
Is not what you see, but how
My ex-ears could only hear the urging word
"Pull yourself together, follow the herd"
Like a threatening flick of a whip
Knowing I'll always be inadequate
My ex-mouth could only make fake, phony boasts
Glossing over what I feared the most
The truth exposed, I'd dropped behind
Excuses I couldn't find
I put my lost face on a pedestal
So have a close look at it now
Remember what appears incapable
Is not what you see, but how
So Ladies and gentlemen, I have given up
'Cause my winning streak was to stop
Measuring strength in a common game
My answers are outside the frame
I put my lost face on a pedestal
So have a close look at it now
Remember what appears incapable
Is not what you see
Oh, I put my lost face on a pedestal
So have a close look at it now
Remember what appears incapable
Is not what you see, but how
But how
