Traces Upon Your Face

Must I wait
Until I'm salt and rust to trust in a man
Must I wait
Until I'm worms and dust to trust in a man

I'm so scared to think you're just like the others
I'm so scared I'll turn you into the others in my hands

I want to know you
I want to trust you
I see traces upon your face of the others
I want to love you
I see traces upon your face of the one
I want to take flight with you

You come too late
Now this wounded bird recoils in defense
You come too late
Will this wounded bird ever know innocence

I'm so scared to think you're just like the others
I'm so scared I'll turn you into the others in my hands

I want to know you
I want to trust you
I see traces upon your face of the others
I want to love you
I see traces upon your face of the one
I want to take flight with you

I want to see you for who you are
Truly see you
Don't want to fear you're insincere
Don't want to fear you'll disappear

I want to know you
I want to trust you
I see traces upon your face of the others
I want to love you
I see traces upon your face of the one
I want to take flight with you
