Only Our Faces Hide - Beloved

We drive to keep our conscience clear

Imagine closure sinking deep into the air

Our loss is not gaining new ground at all

I fight this everyday

Against this ever-changing face

I fight you everyday

Against your ever-changing face

With a fresh sense of purpose and direction

We cannot hide now from ourselves

In disguises all our own

Still we can’t escape at all

We run from things that can be seen

But if we would close our eyes

We would see the real threat against us

I won’t run from this world

Only our faces hide

The quiet defeat inside

Only our faces show

Reflections of so much more
