Painted smiles hide all of our fears
as we silently wipe away the tears
that we cry as we worry through the nights
and are blinded by the neon lights
Even dreams are hard to take
when memories and hearts just break
as we wait for the sun to rise again
and try to forget what happened then
A false understanding has been embedded
and our hearts are now like paper to be shredded
which leaves us with a feeling we can't defy
a dread of such we simply cannot deny
We have been broken beyond repair
but we grin and try our hardest to bear
the emptiness which covers our entire souls
as we are left bleeding from fresh bullet holes
We are warriors that have been wrecked
and we wear our smiles like special effects
on a movie screen that others believe to be real
the only thing that's true is we can no longer feel
Our smiles like art on our faded skin
are a desperate act to cover unwanted sin
and all we desire is to be freed of the pain
so the paint's not washed away by our drops of rain
