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
