Lyrics The Face I Wear - Eldritch

The Face I Wear

There’s nothing to lose when you’re falling to pieces
Like getting drunk on the 4th of July
Trying to see if there will be a limit
On living steady on the edge of life
Too many times in so many ways I got in trouble
Nothing will change till the day I’ll die
I wear a face like if I’m in love
But I don’t wanna show ya
Don’t wanna tell you how your strike was tough
Bringing me right down to hell now
When party starts and my friends carry me there
I’m like a fish jumping out of the bowl
My funeral face always gets there before me
A story read at least a thousand times
I wear a face like if I’m in love
But I don’t wanna show ya
Don’t wanna tell you how your strike was tough
Bringing me right down to hell now
I’ll never call you back
Or give you a trace of me
I’ve been losing all hopes and there’s no chance for me
For living a life with a bit of dignity
