Mercy Of Passing Faces

[Verse 1] Your face in the mirror Looks new every day A bruise, a goodbye Can take it away A name in the mouth A room full of eyes And something inside you Starts changing size [Pre-Chorus] So tell me what stays When the mask falls down What is the self When the world turns around [Chorus] I am not this wound I am not this loss I am not this crown I am not what they call (what they call) I am what remains When the shadow goes (when the shadow goes) [Verse 2] A job slips from your hands A friend leaves the door And the story you wore Fits you no more An insult can strike Like rain on the glass And the man that you knew Begins to pass [Pre-Chorus] So look at the ache Then look past the ache If you want to know What never will break [Chorus] I am not this wound I am not this loss I am not this crown I am not what they call (what they call) I am what remains When the shadow goes (when the shadow goes) [Bridge] First know the not-me The borrowed and bent The names that were given The names that were spent Then under the ruin A deeper face shows Not made by the weather Not carved by the blows [Chorus] I am not this wound I am not this loss I am not this crown I am not what they call (what they call) I am what remains When the shadow goes (when the shadow goes)
