Behind the smile

Masquerade

Hiding the lies, hiding the pain

The pain I wish it could be washed in the rain

They see me every day with a smile on my face

But when I get back to this place

I feel as if I'm in hell

As if I'm locked in a cell

Alone in its darkness

Consuming its blackness

Until my heart becomes heartless

I sit in this dark room, quiet and wondering

If anyone sees the pain that I feel

The pain that I wish it could heal

Days go by and I put on my mask and hide

No one can see the pain I feel inside

I laugh and smile

But deep down I don't feel alright

I'm alone, trapped in an abandoned zone

A lost soul in a deep dark unknown

I tear for what I'm going through

So sad to know it's the truth

I had hopes but now they are all gone

The hopes that happiness could be made

To forever stop this masquerade
