Smile for the Camera

The blood pours
         Forming a scarlet rose
I smile for the camera
         Strike the pose
I smile for the camera -
          Ignore my tears
I will smile for the camera
         Dwell on my fears
But it's an afterthought
              Feeling ethereal...
I will just smile for the camera
          Because I have stamina
Keep running from my problems
- when the tears come I will stop them
Because no one cries anymore
   Let the blood pool on the floor
Because I'm smiling for the camera
            They will never know
That when I'm smiling for this camera
             I put on my greatest show
So just smile for the camera
Act like it's natural
             The key is not to care
Don't tell them anything - don't you dare

         Because pretty people are smart
So I try to recreate the art
              Pretty people don't cry
So I'll just say I'm alright

As I smile for the camera
And let you all know
That one day my smile
               Will turn cold as snow.
