Saving Face - Trash Boat

Tear through my skin

Tell me what I’m like on the inside

Cos I rarely let anyone else in

Break through my skull

Tell me what I’m thinking

Cos I know that’s what you’re thinking

Take it day by day

Tell me if this mask I made hides my face

(It's bullshit anyway)

Cos every chance I get to make some kind

Of room to grow

A coward fills the space

And I keep you at a distance

All these lies I told to save face

As if honesty was poison

And I had no other way

I was just a kid I let that coward in

He found his home in emptiness

Take it day by day

Take it day by day

Tell me if I change

Tell me if I’m growing

All these sleepless nights

Where I would sit and stay awake

I tell myself I’m different

I hope someday I listen
