Faces

I once used to be just like you
I used to care for things that didn't matter
And I wouldn't? Mind what I do
I would still believe that things got better

But there came a day when all this changed
Where all of my life was rearranged
Without a warning or a sign
Taken away what once was mine

Don't try, don't waste your time
Long before you feel it
It will start to blow your mind

Decide, before you grow old
If you want to get there, be there, stay
Where you were told

I don't really know why I'm here
Maybe there is someone who can tell me
There are days when I see so clear
When I know what people think around me

Even if I do not know their names
I can sense all their pains
All of the dreams they have inside
All of the fears they try to hide

Don't try, don't waste your time
Long before you feel it
It will start to blow your mind

Decide, before you grow old
If you want to get there, be there, stay
Where you were told

I see a painting on the wall
Showing exactly what I feel
Showing exactly what I feel
How could it know?

I look at faces in a hall
I see the stories that they hold
I see the stories that they hold
Passing me by
