The Shaving Mask

Verse 1

She holds the razor steady now

My hands won't stop their wandering

A careful touch across my chin

One slip could leave a mark again

Pre-Chorus

Then she said I wish I had a mask

Something made to do the job for me

And the wheels began to turn so fast

A picture forming I could see

Chorus

So I built a mask to shave my face

A little piece of clever grace

I built a mask to shave my face

Machines and me we found our place

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh we found our place

Oh-oh we found our place

Verse 2

I grabbed my iPad late that night

Asked the machine to lend a hand

It heard me wrong and built a bed

Some plastic whisker-covering instead

Pre-Chorus

So I typed the word myself this time

A face of mine to scan and trace

It drew a thing that fits just right

A printed mask to save the day

Chorus

So I built a mask to shave my face

A little piece of clever grace

I built a mask to shave my face

Machines and me we found our place

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh we found our place

Oh-oh we found our place

Bridge

Now I need to call my therapist

He's seen a hundred plans from me

I hope he smiles and says go on

I hope he sees what I can see

Chorus

So I built a mask to shave my face

A little piece of clever grace

I built a mask to shave my face

Machines and me we found our place

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh we found our place

Oh-oh we found our place
