Familiar Faces

[prince_akia]

This was inspired by Tears for Fears' "Mad World," performed by Gary Jules.

Familiar Faces
All I see around are familiar faces,
All those faces, wrinkled faces
And when the day's all done
They're just faces, only faces.

I don't want expression, no expression
Drowning in their sorrow,
Drowning in their old tomorrow
And there's no tomorrow.

All I see around are worn-out faces,
All those faces, smiling faces
But now the day's all done
They're just faces, only faces.

And I find it hard to say,
I find it hard to think
The days that I've been living,
I'm just another face.

I can't find expression, no expression
Drowning their sorrow,
Drowning their old tomorrow
And there's no tomorrow.

All I see around are boring faces,
All those faces, haunting faces
But now the day's all done
We're just faces, only faces.

And I find it kinda funny,
I find it kinda sad
The days from which I'm hiding
Were the best I ever had.
