What happens when the facade takes over/
When the image of who you are/
Becomes who you are?/
/
What will you do when you realize you've changed?/
Become everything that you hate?/
Everything you weren't?/
/
How will you live with yourself when you don't/
Don't even know who that self is/
Stranger in the glass/
/
I want to comfort you, save you, say it'll be alright/
But we both know you've changed and I can't stand the sight/
Of your face, a face that was one that I knew so well/
But it ain't, I wish I knew when it was you fell/
Into the habit of this shit that you feed the rest/
Of your friends...fuck, you're so messed/
/
You tried to fake it, push out the image of/
What you thought you could never be/
Never be so wrong/
/
Where else could you go? What else could you do?/
There was no turning back to who/
Who you used to be/
/
They always loved you, y'know? Loved the man/
You were, in spite of how callow/
How weak that you were/
/
But I can't comfort you or even say it'll be alright/
'Cause we both know you've changed and I can't stand the sight/
Of your face, a face that I don't really know so well/
Now it ain't, now I know when it was you fell/
Into the habit of this shit that you feed the rest/
Of your friends...fuck, you're so messed/
/
Got so addicted/
To the personality/
You so despise/
Don't you presume/
I can't see it/
Behind your eyes/
Why is it you/
Couldn't settle/
For the man you were/
What was wrong/
With the guy/
You were before/
/
You hide your broken face behind a mask/
Hoping no one will try to look/
Past your little rouse/
/
'Cause you know that when they start to dig in/
They'll find how swiftly the walls will/
Crumble before you/
/
Burn the mask, trash the image, fuck the games/
That you play to keep others out/
Give up your facade
