This Is My Face

Oh, Red Rider, all alone
come and see me when you are done
I think I’d like to take a ride
like when I was young
If they see me, let 'em laugh
They know I need it pretty bad
Air in my lungs and a little speed
to move me on
Wake up, veins
Here comes some blood again
Just keep it inside
Don’t let it run.
I’ve been holding on to something
Don’t let it out and watch it burn.
It won’t be over now until I go.
I get a little taste each day of letting go.
The things inside my mind make a single file line all the while.
Pain will await.
Shame you too better.
Blame run away.
You’ve taken enough of my nights and days.
Right I never was.
Wrong I was because
Poor choices that I made
I just want a clean heart and a chance to say,
This is my face, this is my face, this is my face.
This is my face, this is my face, this is my face.
This is my face, this is my face, this is my face.
This is my face, this is my face.
Oh, Red Rider, you can drop me off
I admit there are things I’ve lost
In a sense, impurity I didn’t know I had
On this ride, I’ve surely learned
Light a match and it will burn.
Let people see the scars
That you have earned.
This is my face, this is my face, this is my face.
This is my face, this is my face, this is my face.
This is my face, this is my face, this is my face.
This is my face, this is my face.
