Original Face

By Stuart Davis

I woke up and my head hurt

Had a mouthful of blood and dirt

Bits of heart all over my shirt

Heart all over my shirt

Something painful feeding me love

Split my skull to hatch a dove

Now that's all there ever was

All there ever was

If I were you, and I am

I'd let the question take my hand

You woke up without a name

Went to work without a brain

Took one breath and everything changed

Everything was change

Something painful feeding you light

Split your skin to hatch a life

Now that's all there ever was

All there ever was

If I were you, and I am

I'd let the question take my hand

If you were me, and you are

You'd let the question take your heart

There's a light bulb in every one

Bright enough it could swallow the Sun

Every mask will be erased

There is just the original face

If I were you

I am, I am

It's all one place

It's all the original face
