Fake Smile

My depression has me six feet under

I can't help but wonder

If my grave is watered by my tears

The voices in my head are all I hear

Ugly, worthless, kill yourself

I'm full of all this fear

Everyday you see me smile

I can make it last a while

I promise you it's fake

Remove my mask, oh the gasp you'll take

All the pain was revealed

Self harm was my answer

A distraction from my mental pain

It stings, it burns

I crashed from that wrong sharp turn

I can't stop

So I hide all my pain away

Hidden behind the mask on top

Time to smile

Let's see how long it will take to fade today
