The Mask Behind the Smiles
the Mask behind the smiles
Why am I so sensitive
Could it be blamed on my mother
Could it be blamed on my father
Or
Could it be blamed on nature
Oh please tell me why too many smiles shared
Yet too many smiles
never comes real
The Mack's behind the smiles
I wonder how the victims of wars
Smiles with the pains on their shoulders
I wonder how the women raped
Smiles in pain after torture
I wonder who see those Mask
Behind the smiles
Behind the smiles of the father morning his lost son to an evil war
Behind the smiles of the young girl
Sold to sex slavery
I don't know what smiles
They could better give
If not that from the evil scars
Behind that faces of smiles
lies an unknown motive from it heart
Only the brave smiles beyond the
Pain he bears
For a lot I see as I ask
Why am I sensitive
Could it be blamed on my mother
Could it be blamed on my father
Or
Could it be blamed on nature
Oh please tell me why too many smiles shared
Yet too many smiles
Never comes real
The Mack's behind the smiles
Basic free life now a debt
Paid with a lost
Lost of the mind now invoke
So now fear reigns on too many faces
As The skeleton in the cupboard
Behind our Smiles is so avoided to let known
Now I wonder why I see too many smiles
Now I wonder why I sense to see those Mask
Behind this too many smiles
As well I ask
Why am I so sensitive
Could it be blamed on my mother
Could it be blamed on my father
Or
Could it be blamed on nature
Oh please tell me why too many smiles shared
Yet too many smiles
Never comes real
The Mask behind the smiles
Smiles are every where
On too many faces
On the face that wears the smiles
The heart Knows betters it worth
Only from a free heart
Come a true smile
I tell you no lie
So how can this free heart be
With this scars of ignorance
And circumstances like a wall in between
Is Like we got no other option
So I wonder how many hearts
Are free with these smiles everywhere
As I ask
Why am I so sensitive
Could be blamed on my mother
Could be blamed on my father
Or
Could be blamed on nature
Oh please tell me why too many
Smiles shared
Yet too many smiles
Never comes real
The Mask behind the smiles
The good the bad smiles
Worst of it all the greedy
Smiles a lot too
So I got confuse with smiles
The killer the victor
Smiles
Even the victims smiles too
So you see all smiles with it Mask
Every where
If only you could see beyond
Beyond that face
If only you could see beyond
Beyond those eyes
Am sure you ask with me
As I ask
Why am I so sensitive
Could it be blamed on my mother
Could it be blamed on my father
Or
Could it be blamed on nature
Oh please tell me why too many smiles shared
Yet too many smiles
Never comes real .
