Gary Air - Faceless Man Lyrics

Mother
I'd hoped you'd learned your lesson
After all that's passed
I thought you that you were ready
To move on at last
But clearly I expected too much
Mother
Do you believe in fate
Or is there no design
That keeps the pieces
Of your life
From falling out of line
Is there nothing holding them?
And do you think you can
Face the faceless man?
Hold his frozen hand?
Then you don't understand
Others
Who came before you
Walked the path that you now tread
They sacrificed their joy
To earn their daily bread
And now you stand inside their shoes
Mother
Your arguments are unconvincing
Even to yourself
Is love a reason to keep doing
Damage to your health?
No, you don't have to answer me
And do you think you can
Face the faceless man?
Hold his frozen hand?
Then you don't understand
That the time you spend
Hoping he will mend
All the holes he can
Then, you're playing pretend
Mother I'm just trying to help you
I'm just trying to pull the both of us through
I'm just trying to do the things
You always told me to do
Didn't you?
Ooh
