There's a thousand and one faces in this crowd

I cannot seem to make any of them out

When the clock strikes 8:01 and it hits me

Oh god, I've done it again

Press snooze as many times as it takes for me to drag myself out of bed

There will come a time when God will decide

Whether you simply exist or get to live in the next life

There's a hundred and one faces in this crowd

I'm starting to make his out

There's an angel on my shoulder

The devil on the other

But they're starting to look alike

Different sides of the same coin

Flip it and bet on heads

Ask why I've lived my teens in ruins

Spiraling with a bang

Crashing like waves against unmovable mountains

Who am I?

The world swoops upon me like an eagle

Talons aimed to kill

They rip into my shoulders

Hoist me off the ground

Countdown from the only numbers I know

Eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen

There's a face in this crowd that I recognize

I realize we share the same eyes and the same mind

A vision of a future I never thought I'd make it to
