Here's My Face

She was born into a family
Where the gods just flip a coin
Out learning to fend for herself
While her brother was doing time
Got a tattoo on her wrist
Just some words that her daddy'd say
'There's a story to be written'
Such a pity he drank his away

Here's my face
Ripping through a crowd of endless heartache
I will make it
Even if it takes some time
Here's my face
Filling up the sky like a desert starlight
I will make it
Even if it takes some time

Cut her teeth in all those movies
She played out in her dreams
The ones where she's just killing it
And she's nobody's queen
It's far from burning coffee
Scraping tips in late-night bars
Donna tells her "darling, one day
You're gonna be my Hollywood star"

Here's my face
Ripping through a crowd of endless heartache
I will make it
Even if it takes some time
Here's my face
Filling up the sky like a desert starlight
I will make it
Even if it takes some time

Sometimes she feels frozen in the flight of the trapeze
No cradle there to catch her
There was never really need
She takes a breath
Draws it in
This moment may not come again
Steps into the cold dark night
To find her stage there up in lights

Here's my face
Ripping through a crowd of endless heartache
I will make it
Even if it takes some time
Here's my face
Filling up the sky like a desert starlight
I will make it
Even if it takes some time

Here's my face
Ripping through a crowd of endless heartache
I will make it
Even if it takes some time
Here's my face
Filling up the sky like a desert starlight
I will make it
Even if it takes some time

Here's my face
Here's my face
C'mon!
