Standing There

You can look but you won’t find me
I am a face in the crowd
Go on send out your search party
You won’t see me standing there

Is it so surprising that you’re alone in this room?
You’re the only face that you know
Everybody’s gone and that leaves nobody but you
You’re the only face you recognise

You might have known
They’re waiting for you
If you’d only opened your eyes

You can look but you won’t find me
I am a face in the crowd
Go on send out your search party
You won’t see me standing there

Masks on statue figures make it hard to tell what’s real
Blank and white like empty pages
This forest of stone and clay hides everything that feels
You’re the only face you recognise

You can look but you won’t find me
I am a face in the crowd
Go on send out your search party
You won’t see me standing there
