Façade

Samuel tried his very best
To do what he could
And every choice he ever made
Tried to line up with what's good

He said his daily prayers
And monthly he tithed
But when the sun went down
His demons owned the night

Samuel had a secret sin
That darkened his heart
Outside he was calm
Inside he was ripped apart

The sum of his sin
The sum of his grace
Which one shows us
Samuel's true face.

Daniel tried his very best
To do what had to be done
Whether it was the Augean stable
Or runnin' a fool's errand

He drank his blurry days down
And the whores knew his name
But when the moon came up
His saints carried his pain

Daniel had a secret grace
That lit up his heart
Inside he was golden
Outside he was torn apart

The sum of his sin
The sum of his grace
Which one shows us
Daniel's true face

And I tried my very best
To be like one of them
Day after day night after night
I'm not sure who've I been

The mirror holds a face
That can't be the only one
Look into a deeper pool
To see what I've become

Though the heart is hidden
From my neighbor's eyes
Inside and outside
Are engaged in strife

The sum of my sin
The sum of my grace
Which one shows me
My true face
