Behind the Smile
By Kevin Robey
October 15, 2013

A pill to wake, to sleep at night 
A pill to ensure it’s all right
Lifting the fog, it all seems so 
clear
Things about myself I have left 
to fear

As the silence continues in my 
mind
I’m scared there’s nothing left 
to find
If happiness and bliss is found 
in this
I say its chaos and misery I’ll 
miss

Alone and proud, I smile more 
now
The scars seem too easy to 
disavow
Am I living or dying?  Is it all 
just the same?
It’s hard to tell if laughter is to 
blame

The addict lives inside my mind 
killing time
Never too far from the scene of 
the crime
Reminders it leaves in the back 
of my heart
Scarring the veins that try to 
rip me apart

Gripping the rails on this 
runaway train
Calm in the stagecoaches are 
the insane
Are thoughts of bliss, the calm 
before the storm?
Does chaos line the walls of my 
heart when its warm?

Armed with a stolen heart I 
took from a dream
My smile is a face not too far 
from a scream
While living on the edge is 
where I’d rather be
I’m living in a sea full of 
possibilities

It’s with great trepidation I look 
ahead
Rather than storms I see 
sunshine instead
Shards of broken hearts lay 
beneath my feet
I walk into the grey and 
rename every street
