Eyes Without A Face

When I'm alone I cover the mirrors
Only gaze in when someone's around
Maintain the illusion to anyone I can show
But smoke and mirrors cannot mask sound
I still hear the horns and the sirens
With the cracking of a record as accompaniment
Downstairs you drag around bodies
Dogs in the yard help you mask the scent

The knife cut too deep
In the seam on my face
The mask that I wear is too heavy
Pick up the phone to hear your voice
And I'm reminded you're ashamed of me

Every day a duress as I lay in this bed
Board up the windows to shelter me
My shoulders are tied down with the weight of dread
Something with in me explodes for everyone to see

The knife cut too deep
In the seam on my face
The mask that I wear is too heavy
Pick up the phone to hear your voice
And I'm reminded you're ashamed of me

The glass is smashing
Car is crashing
Mangled limbs of trees and me
To the river we fall
I hear you call
What would my mother say?
