Absent Smiles

When happiness doesn't live, flowing tide of anger When happiness doesn't live, the world's in danger When smiles disappear, people transform When smiles disappear, living in the eye of the storm When all hope is lost, walk amongst the mute When all hope is lost, life does not compute When eyes drain, the noose is in fashion When eyes drain, death is a passion When hearts hurt, pain is the name of the game When hearts hurt, blood will rain from the vein When frowns are drawn, everything moves so slow When frowns are drawn, scars on our wrists will show When souls bleed, minds corrode When souls bleed, bullets make heads explode When happiness doesn't live, swallowed pride When happiness doesn't live, suicide
