Smile Stained Mask

Blink away tears never cried
As you lie awake and wonder why
Was it what you did or what you said?
Or are you simply better off dead?

There's no arm to hold you
Not a hand to stop the tears
So just hold it all back
And make it disappear

'Cause it's better to live in a fantasy world
Than to live in a hell
Decided by someone else

Now paint on a smile
Create your own mask
Whatever it takes
To make sure they don't ask

For if you hide the pain
Embeded within
Surely they'll believe
The twisted words of your lips

No explanation needed
Just the fabricated truth
Maybe a smile or giggle will do

If they think you're ok
Then there's no questions asked
You'll always be safe
Behind a smile stained mask
