Smile, Laugh, Lie, Pay

The smiles I fake

The laughs I force

The lies I've said

The prices I've paid

The glitter and sparkles

Are just rust and ash

The rainbows in rain

Are just blood from my veins

The cheer so clear

A lie

A mask

The eyes so bright

The scars that last

The guilt and pain

The pressure gained

The fog

The sun

The brightness is gone

The moon

So dull

The clouds

Are full

The rain

It's red

From the battles we've fought

In silence

Self violence

My past?

I forgot

The smiles I fake

The laughs I force

The lies I've said

The happiness that grows blood red

It's done

A few more added

My mind just a bit more maddened

Me?

Just a little saddened

But that's okay

That's alright

I never said I'd give up the fight

Not yet at least

There's still more to go

So while I'm here

I'll put on a show

With every smile I'll fake

Every laugh I'll force

Every lie I'll say

And the prices I'll pay
