    Story Behind the Song
    It was one of those days. Seemed everything and everybody wanted to take a shot at Ras. The choices were either do something nasty, to meself or to someone else, or pour it all into the music. Times like that, it's good to be a poet.

    Lyrics
    THIS FRAGILE FACE

    I just want to step out
    walk the streets
    in the crowds
    let anonymity hide me
    so the blows don’t see me
    time out, end of a round
    cease-fire
    anything
    just a moments peace
    to regain my strength
    behind this fragile face
    the churning turmoil
    this disintegrating man
    behind this fragile face
    this fragile face

    Today I could have used a conversation
    even though
    I don’t have much to say
    but even that was denied me
    and I ache,
    and I’m always scared these days
    it’s something terminal
    I hear the clock
    sometimes it’s all I hear
    and it scares me
    for the things it leaves my children
    when it stops for me

    So, come on
    round two...
    or twenty-two...
    who’s next?
    which friend, fiend or relative
    wants to take a shot?
    take me down?
    or am I not yet so far
    down enough
    for you to tear my flesh?

    I need to focus
    but my brain
    just won’t focus, baby
    the troubles make my ears ring
    sleep seems good
    but it’s the middle of the day
    and I'm crowded out by people
    who just don’t know
    all the churning turmoil
    the crumbling values
    devastating this
    disintegrating man
    behind this fragile face.
