Faces
G.U.S Lyrics

Do you see the scales on me?
Can you perceive the flaws and weaknesses in my character?

Feeble tongue, or hues of green?
Is my speech inadequate or inexperienced?

I don't feel like catching prey
I lack the motivation to pursue my goals

But I don't feel like anything
I am emotionally numb and disconnected

Sit in my head
Contemplate deeply within my mind

Stray from the truth
Deviate from the path of honesty

Pick at the scabs, don't look at the past, got something to lose
Engage in self-destructive behavior to avoid confronting past mistakes

But I feel the tension from every direction
I experience stress and pressure from all angles

It's my reflection, I correct 'em, don't even mention
I recognize my own flaws and try to improve them without any acknowledgment

You can't fix my soul, my crutch, my home
No one can heal the deep emotional pain that supports and defines me

Feed it but it's best just left alone
Although I try to nourish it, it's better to let it be

My dear, my foe, my holy ghost
Someone who is simultaneously important to me, my enemy, and my guiding spirit

Never gave a damn 'til it's face was shown
Never cared about it until its true nature and impact were revealed

Your face was shown (is it something you wanna do?)
Your true self was unmasked (do you really want to expose yourself?)

(Is it something you wanna do?) Your face was shown
(Do you genuinely desire to let others see who you truly are?) Your true self was revealed

(Is it something you wanna do?)
(Are you willing to take this step?)

(Is it something you wanna do?)
(Are you truly ready to reveal yourself?)

So just face me, I can make a change
Confront me directly, and I have the ability to transform

So maybe just chase me, 'cause I can make a change
Perhaps you should pursue me, as I have the power to bring about transformation

Do you see despair on me?
Can you perceive the hopelessness and sadness within me?

I've cut close ones carelessly
I have hurt loved ones thoughtlessly

Some have passed and most don't change
Some have died, and the rest remain stagnant

But when I go I leave them peace
But when I depart from their lives, I bring them tranquility

I don't wanna be the love you prevail from
I don't want to be the source of your strength and happiness

I don't wanna be the waves in your sea
I don't want to be the unstable element in your life

I was never pegged as one you'd depend on
I was never considered as someone reliable and trustworthy

But that changed when your face was shown
But everything changed when I saw your true self

So just face me, I can make a change
Confront me directly, and I have the ability to transform

So maybe just chase me, 'cause I can make a change
Perhaps you should pursue me, as I have the power to bring about transformation

(My baby loves me, my baby loves me)
(Someone deeply cares for me, someone deeply cares for me)

(My baby loves me, my baby loves)
(Someone deeply cares for me, someone deeply cares for me)

Do you wanna feel what I felt?
Do you desire to experience the same emotions I have felt?

I stayed awake for days in this hell
I endured sleepless nights in this torturous state

And what I paid for my sin would bring most men straight to their end
The consequences I faced for my wrongdoing would be enough to drive most people to their breaking point

Straight to their end
Directly to their demise

'Til your face was shown
Until I saw your true self

So just face me, I can make a change
Confront me directly, and I have the ability to transform

So maybe just chase me, 'cause I can make a change
Perhaps you should pursue me, as I have the power to bring about transformation
