Cold World
BEHIND THE SMILE
Just another sinking tear
In this river full of pain
Racing fast to nowhere
A world that's gone insane
Forced to live without you
Teased by fool's romance
But it's alright you'll never know
I'm living dead but I don't show
Empty words and hollow eyes
Behind the smile I hide my lies
Everyone has the answer
None of them are right
The blind lead the blind
Pretending to have sight
Love is such a cruel illusion
A distracting fool's delight.
Handcuffed by our society
Scorned to a watery grave
Drowning in a sea of lonely
And too far gone to save...
