This Face

about

This song was written the week of Robin Williams passing, I was so moved by his passing that the song just flowed out of me in a few hours...Then with the help of my wife Lori and friend Al we completed this heartfelt, dark number.

lyrics

Verse 1
As I look up from the abyss thinking back on all I'll miss
I've come this far I don't want to fail again
And this tormented mind of mine is anything but fine
With pain so great how could anyone stand the strain

Chorus
This face I showed the world was not really me
I'd hide behind a smile, and say I’m fine
Pretending to be free

Verse 2
I had a family and a wife but a burden for a life
With all that love I still felt all alone
I know that leaving them this way hurts more that I can say
But it's the only way to let the pain go

Chorus
This face I showed the world was not really me
I'd hide behind a smile, and say I’m fine
Pretending to be free

Bridge
It's toughest when you’re battling yourself
The two sides never agree
Trying to gain control, but losing ground
With never a chance of being free

Verse 3
As my last thoughts slip away I think I can hear you say
“Oh my god whatever have you done?”
You scream, cry and shout but now without a doubt
It’s far too late for even 911

Chorus X 2
This face I showed the world was not really me
I'd hide behind a smile, and say I’m fine
Pretending to be free
