Story Behind The Song
Faceless was written in Ottawa in 2004 before Godsmack's faceless album was released.
Marcel's current band was not ready to record so Marcel did it alone with the help of Kevin Zimon on bass.
Song Description
About dealing with aging, change, spirituality and having the strength to be oneself and not allowing others to dictate your beliefs.
Has a groovy, swingy verse with a floating vocal line.
The chorus is heavy with a catchy, rhythmic vocal line.
After two of each there is a melodic bridge in a quicker straight feel, followed by a slow and heavy outro with angry vocals a la Chris Cornell.

Lyrics
You can't go around without a face
That is something you cannot taste
You can't go around without a face
Gotta find something
You're own identity
Gotta find something you could be.
Never been here before, Never be here again
Ever since I was four wanted to be ten
Things are changing again but in a different way
I've done things... that I'd rather not say.
Gotta fit in... with a certain crowd of people
They act a certain way
Gotta find things to do... occupy your time
Occupy your days
Never been here before, never be here again
Ever since I was four wanted to be ten
Things are changing again but in a different way
I've done things
That I'd rather not say.
