One for the office, polished and on time
One for my mother, softer at the edge
One for the mirror at the end of the climb
One I keep folded on a private ledge
Switch them quick, I barely feel the change
Each one fits the room it has to fill
But late at night the lineup looks so strange
Wondering which one I am when I'm still
So many faces I keep
Which one's really me, running deep
Hand me a moment, hand me a mirror that's true
So many faces I keep, and I'm looking for the one I knew
Mask on, mask off, who's behind
Searching for the steadiest of mine
Maybe it's not picking only one
Maybe they're all threads of the same cloth
Different colors catching different sun
Same warm body underneath it all
So many faces I keep
Which one's really me, running deep
Hand me a moment, hand me a mirror that's true
So many faces I keep, and I'm looking for the one I knew
Mask on, mask off, who's behind
Searching for the steadiest of mine
But here's the one I trust the most of all
The face I wear when nobody can call
No audience, no role, no part to play
Just me and the quiet at the closing of the day
So many faces I keep
Which one's really me, running deep
Hand me a moment, hand me a mirror that's true
So many faces I keep, and I'm finally good with the one I knew
Mask on, mask off, who's behind
Found the steadiest of mine
