From the corner of my eye
I saw a sight to behold
It made me stiff in my bones
I was alone in that moment
I was stunned and I froze
Then in an instant
Battle ready for violence
Fight or flight kicking in
My heart jumping, adrenaline!
Fully prepared
To be judged and analyzed
To be condemned and criticized
To be found wanting and despised
I was so familiar
With the glint in his eyes
I saw my old man
Oh God damn
It's just my reflection!
There ain't no escape
From my face I can't run away.
But I could never change, if anything, not your greatest trait. that f*cking handsome face
Sometimes all it takes
Is a mirror and a shave
And I'm right back in your hands
I am right back in your hands
That's when I start to break
And the armor starts to crack
I am right back in your hands
I am right back in your hands
As sudden as a slap
Or a car door when it's slammed
I am right back in your hands
I am right back in your hands
I'm not standing where I'm at
I've been stranded in the past
And I'm right back in your hands
In your hands
There ain't no escape
From my face, I can't run away
But I would never change
If anything it's your greatest trait
That f*cking handsome face
Try not to hate my face
When I see my father's eyes
Tell him to smile at his child
To say 'I love you, you're all right.
I am proud of the person you're becoming'
and all the other things
I wish I could hear from him
Cause I can't change it
You are part of my makeup
I wear your face man
Maybe why I cover in makeup
I feel this calling
To weave beauty from anguish
I want peace I want forgiveness
Enough to share with my offenders
Cuz there ain't no escape
From my face I can't run away
But I would never change
If anything it's your greatest trait.
That f*cking handsome face
