Faces on Film - Jacob Whitesides

I didn’t know you were an actor

Played every part

Climbed up the ladder

Taking your time

Taking the longer way

But they took your life

From you, sign those papers

I couldn’t help, I couldn’t save ya

They wrote the lines

They thought you should say

If I could hide you under my cape

Tuck you away in my suitcase

When you get tired of being alone

Anywhere but here is home

It’s not in your deal

When you say when I will

Leave behind the world

Faces on film

My favorite scenes are when you’re escaping

Finding a place you could be safe in

Hiding your eyes

Cover them with your hair

You follow the road

You know where it’s winding

You do what your told

Or you truly deciding

Tears me apart

That we had to find a way

If I could hide you under my cape

Tuck you away in my suitcase

When you get tired of being alone

Anywhere but here is home

It’s not in your deal

If you’re so good, I fear

It’s the underneath that’s real

Let’s leave behind the world
