Faceless

We look through the eyes of others to find our identity. But that isn't who we are. If we conform to their standards of beauty and value, we lose who we actually are. We become faceless and nameless.

Forget who you used to be

Accept new identity

Conform or die, don’t you see?

Everyone in this city

Lost their face some time ago

Everyone becomes the same

Same face everywhere you go

So who am I? What’s my name?

 

No one can be different

Any edge must be leveled

May we all be consistent

Everyone is a devil

Lost in their own delusions

Everyone, everywhere is

Seeing the same illusion

Seeing a face that’s not his.

 

Why must my face be another’s?

How can I live with a face

One and the same as others?

 

All of my identity

Must be stripped from who I am.

 

I’m as good as dead; nameless.
