Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
Scrape the excess, good for my head
Paste upon me, the waste that's made me whole
I peel so softly, My favorite pet
I'll erase it, if the face won't fly

[Pre-Chorus]
(Cut along the dotted line) And find the hidden face
(I know it will replace) The one I left behind
(Remove it from the sheet) And hang it up to dry
(Leave it until it's ready to crumble)

[Chorus]
(In the closet) It will be the same
(The same as always) As it was before
('Fore the widows) Came crawling through my head
(Head, weaving) Webs of lust disease

[Verse 2]
Painted happiness, hiding my weaknesses
Tape my eyes shut to set my mind at ease
Force the glue out
Feel my soul burn
I will trace it if the face won't stay

[Pre-Chorus]
(Cut along the dotted line) And find the hidden face
(I know it will replace) The one I left behind
(Remove it from the sheet) And hang it up to dry
(Leave it until it's ready to crumble)

[Chorus]
(In the closet) It will be the same
(The same as always) As it was before
('Fore the widows) Came crawling through my head
(Head, weaving) Webs of lust disease

[Bridge]
I feel not a thing
For this picture inside
No way, nowhere to take
The loosening places, the faces that hide
I feel not a thing
For this picture inside
No way, nowhere to take
The loosening places, the faces that hide

[Chorus]
(In the closet) It will be the same
(The same as always) As it was before
('Fore the widows) Came crawling through my head
(Head, weaving) Webs of lust disease
(In the closet) It will be the same
(The same as always) As it was before
('Fore the widows) Came crawling through my head
(Head, weaving) Webs of lust disease
