about

We wrote this song about all of the people out there that don't feel like they fit into the category that society considers 'normal'. Feeling out of place in the world can have a traumatic impact on individuals and we'd just like to say that we hear you, we feel you and we understand. The moral of the story is that we all need to be a little kinder, a little more understanding and genuinely embrace the qualities in each other that make us all unique and beautiful human beings.

lyrics

I'm like a home with empty cupboards
A room with unpacked boxes
Spring without the flowers
Their absence tells me something's out of place
I try to deny it, the irregularity of it
I'm a freak show at the circus
Pay your nickel boy, step in right this way
Marvel at my defiance as you gaze upon my visage
Take care to hide your hatred
Cloak it in your religion.

Chorus
I'm the one without a face
I'm the one who never found my place
Invisible to a million eyes
Despicable is my lame disguise
Hidden away from everyone's my fate
Pray I won't always be alone
Praying that one day I will have a home
With someone who'll take me by the hand and lovingly understand
The shadowy mess I really am.

I'm like a home without a doorway
A moat without a castle
Useless vacant structures destined for destruction
But I love the thought of friendship
Or a meaningful connection
But the fear of your rejection freezes my intentions
So I'll vanish once again
To my self-imposed prison
A thousand miles from nowhere.

I'm the one without a face
I'm the one who never found my place
Invisible to a million eyes
Despicable is my lame disguise
Hidden away from everyone's my fate
Pray I won't always be alone
Praying that one day I will have a home
With someone who'll take me by the hand and lovingly understand
the shadowy mess I really am

All I can say, is I was born this way
More fear than hate, less certain more afraid
Not knowing the path to take
I just need a friend, who will take me by the hand
Who loves me for the mess I am.

I'm the one without a face
I'm the one who never found my place
Invisible to a million eyes
Despicable is my lame disguise
Hidden away from everyone's my fate
Pray I won't always be alone
Praying that one day I will have a home
With someone who'll take me by the hand and lovingly understand
the shadowy mess I really am

The shadowy mess I really am...
