From Face To Facade

What used to be my face
    is now just a facade
  Once I was nice
    now I'm the Marquis de Sade

  Please cry no false tears for me
    or say that you've somehow still faith
  Keep it up, and I'll metamorphize
    from the Marquis to Henry the Eighth

Wow! LOL! now the song from the movie “Ghost” is in my head “I’m Henry the 8th…I am I am…”

I'm mortified that you may metamorphize into someone I can't recognize.
