I want to be master of my own emotions with a fire that fills me,
but I don't understand myself and I don't know, I don't know what my heart is anymore.
I don't want to be standing in this war through pity and responsibility.
So come into my life with your violence and pain,
'cause I feel the depths of a love I've never known. Take a hold of my life,
make it into one that I want it to be. Make a whole of my life, make my faces one that I want you to see.
I can't stand to see confusion in your eyes, when I drift away sometimes,
could I ever be more faithless in my life?
For all the hope I've found in these days.
It's always frightened me how some things lose their meaning,
how some things changed direction with a breeze. Don't ask me where I am,
I am trying to come home, but I can't keep myself from drifting.
Take a hold of my life, make it into one that I want it to be.
Make a whole of my life, make my faces one that I want you to see.
Sometimes it makes me feel feelings which I never hoped to find.
Sometimes it makes me feel like I'm living out of time.

Faces shares the same theme as Footprints. The song touches on the balance between being what is expected of you as a man and the urge to need to express your emotions. The song expresses frustration at not being able to blend the two together the way he dreamed it to be. He's created a 'face' for someone. His partner sees through his 'face'. The relationship begins to deteriorates as a result, but he continues to dig himself deeper, losing who he is in the process.
