lyrics
Face in the Glass
Hi!
My name is Dave
and I'm an alcoholic
Dry for four months
Since July
And I've been to hell
and back
Had three heart attacks
Two kids
and one ex-wife
And I'm down on my luck
My credit fucking sucks
Yes I'm just an average schmuck
And I make minimum wage
Gamble it away
But I got something to say
I came here today
to tell you that I know
what you're going through
And I came here to say
that I know what I have to do
Shatter my face in the glass and erase it
It's not what I wanted to be
Pick up the pieces
there's blood on my fingers
the pain reminds me that I'm real
Hi!
My name is Betty
I was raped when I was 9
The same year my mother died
And I've got no one I can trust
Grew up with just me, my self hatred and I
And I'm cruising on the strip
Looking for a trick
To turn into my fix
And I'm so fucking stressed
Everything's a mess
Everything's a mess
But I came here today
to tell you that I know
what you're going through
And I came here to say
that I know what I have to do
Pick up this old photograph and I paint it
It's not what I wanted to be
Fix up the face
Paint it black
Because I hate this
This twisted reflection of me
Shatter my face in the glass and erase it
It's not what I wanted to be
Scattered
The shards on the floor staring back
are a twisted reflection of me
Pasting them back into place
Now the face in the mirror
Is someone who looks
just a little
like me
The pain reminds me
The pain reminds me that I'm real
