Shattered
The smiles only last so long
This mask made of wax
It melts under the heat
Though I may not be very strong
You show yourself to be so
Able to handle it all
Causing pain and suffering
It only gets worse from here
I'd wish myself dead
But you've already killed me
I've lost track of how many times
So before you go again
Make sure you kill me for good
'Cause the smiles are gone
Broken by you
