Face Me
The Plot in You Lyrics

Do you see the scales on me?
Can you perceive the flaws and struggles within me?

Feeble tongue, or hues of green?
Is my voice weak or inexperienced?

I don't feel like catching prey
I lack the motivation to pursue or conquer anything

But I don't feel like anything
I feel empty and devoid of emotions

Sit in my head
Thoughts and worries consume my mind

Stray from the truth
I tend to deviate from the honest path

Pick at the scabs, don't look at the past, got something to lose
I avoid confronting my past and its wounds because I fear the consequences

But I feel the tension from every direction
I sense pressure and expectations coming from all angles

It's my reflection, I correct 'em, don't even mention
I identify my flaws and work to improve them without needing anyone else to point them out

You can't fix my soul, my crutch, my home
No one can mend my broken spirit, which has become my support system

Feed it but it's best just left alone
Although I try to nourish my soul, it's better to leave it undisturbed

My dear, my foe, my holy ghost
You, who simultaneously hold different roles in my life - beloved, adversary, and spiritual presence

Never gave a damn 'til it's face was shown
I never cared until I saw the true essence or nature of something

So just face me, I can make a change
Confront me and give me the opportunity to transform

So maybe just chase me, 'cause I can make a change
Perhaps, pursue me because I have the ability to bring about positive transformation

Do you see despair on me?
Can you recognize the hopelessness within me?

I've cut close ones carelessly
I have harmed those who were dear to me without much regard

Some have passed and most don't change
Some have died, while others remain unchanged

But when I go I leave them peace
However, when I eventually depart, I bring them tranquility

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

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

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

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
So confront me, and I have the ability to transform

So maybe just chase me, 'cause I can make a change
So perhaps, pursue me because I have the power to bring about positive change

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

I stayed awake for days in this hell
I endured sleepless nights in this torment

And what I paid for my sin would bring most men straight to their end
The consequences I faced for my wrongdoing would 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 nature

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

So maybe just chase me, 'cause I can make a change
So perhaps, pursue me because I have the power to bring about positive change
