In Everyman’s terms...

You are just another face.

Iʼm not generally keen on giving advice

Especially in the way of life-living

But an opportunity has arisen now for me to speak my mind

You are just another face.

Yep.

You are just another face.

A face among a sea of faces

Hell, that line has been so overused

That it should be indicative in and of itself

But I digress on that matter and repeat

You are just another face.

Wait a second

Before your hair stands on end

And your fingers hit the left-hand side

X

Please, listen

You are just another face.

There is too much pressure in the face of faces

And we have been driven to drive all thatʼs been driven

Down some other path no one has gone before

That we live in twisters down the road of crazy

Before we hit 13

But remember

You are just another face.

You are unique.

But human

Remember

You are just another face.

Your fingerprints tell other stories

You say

Your lines graph your experiences

And your wisdom tells no lies

You scream

Your hands have touched only what you have touched

All so true

But

Relax

You are just another face.

But

But

But when you were a baby

Your mother told you

You were special in just your own way

And you will climb to the top of a mountain

Turn water to wine

And live all your wishes

Sure

But

You are just another face.

And that fucking dinosaur

With all the bells and the whistles

The one who spoke only truth

And stole your eyes and ears and your brain

While you ate your corn flakes in the living room floor

Stop

You are just another face.

Relax

Beautiful

You are just another face.

Drink your coffee

Do your dishes

Water, a gallon each day

Donʼt hold your piss in your britches unless you want an infection

This all applies to you

You are just another face.

The facade you are given is one you were

GIVEN

You were given

Relax

You are just another face.

I could go on forever

I won't

I swear

But of utmost importance is

That collective sea of faces in which your perfect one resides

Share your lines

Share those words

Those experiences

Those fingerprints

Touch everything

With the faces

Touch the faces

Climb your mountain

If you please

Or donʼt

Either way

You are special in just your own way

With your own face

In a sea of faces

You are allowed to sleep

You are allowed to be

Relax

You are just another face.
