"Painted Faces"

[Verse 1]
Escape to a world where everything is fiction
Reality is held back, an unbreakable restriction
No one is fo' real, it's all pretend for the senses
Everyone's livin' a fantasy with all paid expenses
Minds erode from doing what they've been told
No way of getting things in order, it's uncontrolled
They hold the reigns but choose to be untrue
Been given the door but chose not to walk through
Humans are nothing more than mechanical robots
Control their movement and their train of thoughts
Aint nobody playin' the part that they been given
Lies and untruths has reality driven
If only they could bring out what lies within
Than the face would be more than another question

[Chorus x2]
No matter who you're dealing with
No matter what race
Everyone you meet, has a painted face


[Verse 2]
This is how the world juggles its flaws
No movement of realness like it's on pause
I find it hard even to believe myself
The trust I once had has been layed on the shelf
It's a situation that could crumble a foundation
With no explanation or signs of transformation
Tryin' to connect the links to an existance is hard
When the sources to be joined have been permanently scared
No way to tell what's right or what's wrong
The guide lines to follow are long gone
There's no way to see through the blindin' fog
Minds are scrambled like on a runnin' jog
Reapin' what's been sewed as time goes on
While tryin' to figure out how this came upon

[Chorus x2]
No matter who you're dealing with
No matter what race
Everyone you meet, has a painted face

[Verse 3]
Now if it seems i'm judgemental it's because I am
We were all made the same so who are you to condemn?
I'm through interactin' with disguised souls
I'm like a sport, just tryin' to achieve my goals
And if the mind tells the body what to do
Then why can't it just tell it to be true?
I'm fed up with this shit and there needs to be a change
I'm comin' after my target like at a gun range
What happened to the honesty that was once present?
It's now disappointment, a lesser extent
Hook up a lie detector and watch us all fail
There aint nobody on earth that would come to prevail
To most the message bein' given won't be clear
Have the wheel to their life but choose not to steer

[Chorus x2]
No matter who you're dealing with
No matter what race
Everyone you meet, has a painted face
