Illusion

Life is an illusion Of happiness and joy We all live a misconception A fine act of deception None of us are alright But we insist we are It's a constant fight But we never come clear with our plight We live a lie Saying we're fine When we want to cry And even when we try Not to lie To people we are happy Happier than them But they don't see what we see They're deaf to our faint plea Every time we smile We hide the truth After a while Our lies will form a pile They say We don't say anything But what do they know? What can you say? When really you have nothing Every time we lie it hurts inside When we lie our guilt knows no bounds But we have so much to hide We are not what we are On the outside We promise that one day We'll tell them We'll tell them one day We'll tell them some time That's long away Just not now And not today.
