Face Off

Like a drop in the ocean, like a ball of string undone
Did I think I was perfect, did I think I loved what I'd become
I thought I shone in the night sky but stars are billions to one
And there's no home in the ether and I'm not some God's only son

She said get that face-off, ye darling, please
I know you know that I tried
She said get that face-off, ye darling, please
I know you know that I tried

Is the place between feelings a place to quantify your loss?
Like you just noticed your bleeding as they pulled you from the cross
Like your compassion for healing only kicks in when you're dead
Like an emotional ceiling that collapsed in on your head

She said get that face-off, ye darling, please
I know you know that I tried
She said get that face-off, ye darling, please
I know you know that I tried

Oh, I'm feeling it now
For the rest of my life, I'll just go without
Oh, I'm feeling it now
For the rest of my life, I'll just go without

She said get that face-off, ye darling, please
I know you know that I tried
She said get that face-off, ye darling, please
I know you know that I tried
