Keep My Face

[Verse 1]
I see the blank white stare
When I type my name
One small slip, one wrong word
And it all gets framed

Saved in a hidden box
Every grin, every scar
If it all goes dark tonight
Who am I, where you are?

[Pre-Chorus]
I check it twice
Then I check it again
One little post
Could be the end

[Chorus]
One post, one scar
It travels so far
One post, one scar
And they change who you are
Hold my name, hold my name
Don’t let it slip away
Hold my name, hold my name
Keep my face today

[Verse 2]
My old mistakes line up
Like a crowd at my door
One clipped sentence can swing
What I’m known for

And the lock turns cold
On the album I made
All those summer nights
In a vanished frame

[Pre-Chorus]
I check it twice
Then I check it again
One little post
Could be the end

[Chorus]
One post, one scar
It travels so far
One post, one scar
And they change who you are
Hold my name, hold my name
Don’t let it slip away
Hold my name, hold my name
Keep my face today

[Bridge]
If the screen goes black
And the passwords fail
If the crowd moves on
And the links turn stale
I’ll keep a paper trail
I’ll keep a heartbeat near
I’m more than the record
More than what you hear

[Final Chorus]
One post, one scar
It travels so far
One post, one scar
And they change who you are
Hold my name, hold my name
Don’t let it slip away
Hold my name, hold my name
Keep my face today
