Faces (Live)

Faces and faces and faces and faces
I'll take the street and you take the paces
You were so lonely, I couldn't make it
I could have known for the love of the love of it
Ages and ages and ages and ages
Valleys are made by the creep and the glaciers
I couldn't make it better than it would have been
I was a lie in the life of another
Faces of races and strangers and wastelands
Beautiful hatred, convulsing to phrases
Vacant and baseless and faded and faint
I couldn't be what you need, what you couldn't wait
Pages and pages and pages and pages
Books set alight in a thousand bright blazes
It wasn't hard, if at the hardest, breaking
I look away to avoid your remembering

If you want, I could be
Anyone, anything
If you know how to see
All deceit, vanity
It was all in a hive
Hold it all on the line
I was young, you were brave
I could never be the same

Faces and faces and faces and faces
Islands to hide all the nation's disgraces
I blame the blind with the far off gazes
The fantasy and I can't explain it
I crossed the line and I was impatient
I couldn't stay and I couldn't be breaking
And I took the dead and you took the cages
Lies are the best when there's truth in the making

Out here where I find you
Where the suburbs turn to trees
I can see now what there wasn't
You've been hiding her from me
You've been waiting for the sunshine
You've been waiting for the rain
You've been waiting for the fire
Time to burn these hills again
Out here I can taste it
There is winter in the air
I can hear the monk on call
And I can feel the blackbird's stare
And the wind was soon recalling
And the real one can be found
You got something, you can find me
Where the world, where the stars are
Where I'll go
Where I'll go
Where I'll go
