Behind this smile lies the person you don't see.
A mask to cover all my worries, pains, and needs.
It gets me through the day,
and guides me through the night.
It hides the things that I've done wrong,
and shows the things that I've done right.
My hopes are never high,
but my expectations are.
My motivation is fed,
by a world that judges harsh.......
-CHORUS-
I want to enjoy my life
and I'll kill myself to get there.
It's hard when the only thing stopping you
is the man staring back in the mirror.
When life throws you its worst,
and your best is not enough,
to overcome the hate you feel,
for that man who knows too much.......
Betrayal from the one you love,
and words that cut to the bone.
Thoughts that wake you from sleep at night
of songs you can call your own.
Just when you think you've made it,
when you think you've reached your goal,
the world judges you again,
and their verdict steals your soul.......
(Guitar Solo)
-CHORUS-
I want to enjoy my life
and I'll kill myself to get there.
It's hard when the only thing stopping you
is the man staring back in the mirror.
When life throws you its worst,
and your best is not enough,
to overcome the hate you feel,
for that man who knows too much.......
My smile can tell you different.
My smile can sell illusions.
It can hide the anger that drives me,
or it can cover my confusion.
If another day leads to sadness,
or if it drives me to write a song,
I fear I must say goodbye to you,
and you can be happy once and for all.......
(Bass Outro)
