Behind These Lies
Behind every smile that you see
Is a thousand memories
Of when times where so much tougher
These feelings I felt, much rougher
Behind every laugh that you hear
Is a cluster of frozen tears
That were shed with sorrow in silence
Hiding from the surrounding violence
Behind every nice thing I say
Is an insult to myself of hate
Scars from when I just wanted to feel
Something that would finally be real
Behind the person that I am
Is a life that never fully began
Cut short by my own hand
Sentenced to a deserted neverland
Forever I continue to exist
In a paranoid state of bliss
When you look at me, you will never see
The lies behind that are unseen
