From the recording Wind Up
Lyrics
FACE IN THE WELL
All alone at the bottom of a stone, cold well
My voice is booming
But you can’t hear me
I was never your favorite conversation piece
So you ignore me
Oh how you wear me down
So condescending
All alone at the top of your list of fools
My heart is breaking
You own the pieces
No longer a part of your life
I cannot see you
I cannot touch you now
I would not be your…
Face in the well
It’s still my own
And no one can tell me otherwise
All alone at the bottom of a stone, cold well
My voice is failing
Your ears have vanished
All this because I’m not you
I wear my words wrong
My thoughts are out of style
A shadow hides my…
Face in the well
It’s still my own
And no one can tell me otherwise
All alone at the bottom of a stone, cold well
My voice is booming
But you can’t hear me
I was never your favorite conversation piece
So you ignore me
Oh how you wear me down
Face in the well
It’s still my own
And no one can tell me otherwise
Face in the well
Reflections on
If you see it off it’s by your own design
