'Face First' - Mani Khaira

My mask, if I could tear it off, and paint on top 

And show it like some smoke and mirror scene

Those words would not come out of a single sentence you’d say

You'd say that when you look forward they can see you

You're in the angles in sea foam green

Ya you, you light up so bright, you become yellow

You’re just like sunshine, you know it too when you’d

Smile for the photograph

Smile for the photograph

Smile for the photograph 

La la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la

When you look forward 

Oh can you see me

I’m in the angles

Prism of perception

I’ll shine your colours

Come here and love me

When you look forward 

Oh can you see me

I’m in the angles

Prism of perception

I’ll shine your colours

Come here and love me

Smile for the photograph

Shine for the photograph 

Smile for the photograph 

Shine for the photograph 

Smile for the photograph 

He was another boy looking for love, in all the wrong places

When he stayed out to find it

He kept himself hid, invisible

He was on his knees 

He was on his knees

He was on his knees

And I knew that I wanted to be naked

Face first, enter, face first, enter

Now we’re counting stars in fall

Nobody's here to steal our spark

A fire that burns in a sea  

We can be selfless when we please

This is the place where I can be myself 

This is the place where I can love you

Face first, enter, face first

You enter, face first 

And I knew then I wanted to be naked

When you make me feel like I should run

I know that there would be no other one, like you.

Is there a moment to replace 

Is there something that you'd like change from the time we met

While you were on your knees?

You enter, face first, enter

You enter, face first, enter

Your touch makes me,

Enter face first 

Your love makes me emotional
