Face to face and eye to eye

in search of something real.

Faults and fears and bruises bare

To help our hearts conceal

Truth and trust and tales of times

When real was all we knew.

Before we let our fences grow.

Before we got too cool

Kids are face to face at first

until they learn to lie.

Some return to face to face

Some grow to blind to try
