Fa'ade

Smile to forget the pain,
Smile to wash away the rain,
Smile for another day,
Smile so you can clear the way.

Laugh because you cannot hide,
Laugh because you can't reside,
Laugh for the feeling of being free,
Laugh because it's you and me.

Hug to keep another warm,
Hug to feel away from warn,
Hug and see what its like inside,
Hug to hide the fact you cried.

All the time it's underneath,
Hidden under and far beneath,
Sometimes it scratches,
Sometimes it bites,
And makes you feel the pain of rights.

You always put on that fake fa'ade,
That pure black mask held by a rod.

That mask that hides,
That mask that bides,
Its beautiful exterior,
With a deeming ulterior.

Once you put it on,
And see the new dawn,
Trying to hide,
The fact YOU died.

You smile to forget the pain.
And laugh because you cannot hide,
You hug to keep another warm,

All this to conceal what's inside '
