[Verse]
Mirror's a liar, face split like a wire,
Teeth showing bright, but my soul’s in the fire.
Laugh track on loop, sitcom in my brain,
Punchlines echo, drowning out the pain.
Tears got no passport, they can’t leave,
Locked in my chest where the shadows weave.
Painted my grin with a brush of despair,
Clown in the circus, gasping for air.
[Chorus]
Smile’s a mask, and I wear it so tight,
Underneath, I'm a storm in the d**d of night.
Painted grins, yeah, they shine so bright,
But inside I’m sinking, no land in sight.
[Verse 2]
Jester on a tightrope, wobbly as my mood,
Balancing the chaos, the laughter feels crude.
Eyes wide open, but they don’t see me,
Hiding in the crowd like a ghost on TV.
Manic as a squirrel in a world of decay,
Fake it till I make it—or till I fade away.
Skeleton jokes with my bones in a knot,
Smile so sweet it could rot on the spot.
[Bridge]
Who’s the real me? The cracks or the gloss?
The cracks scream louder, but the gloss hides the loss.
Spinning plates, juggling flames,
All while I whisper forgotten names.
