[Verse 1]
When we laugh, are we hiding pain inside?
A secret buried deep that we just can’t confide
Is the smile on our face just a well-trained disguise
While our hearts bleed quiet under silver skies?
[Female Chorus – softly]
Ooooh… under silver skieeeees…
---
[Verse 2]
Could it be we’re numb, or maybe just cold?
Or selfish souls with stories never told
Do we wear this joy just to make it through
While the truth hides behind what we say and do?
[Female Chorus – echo]
Just to make it through... what we say and do...
---
[Chorus]
Oh, this laughter we wear like a second skin
Covers the storm that’s raging within
In the darkest nights, when we break and bend
We still play the part, we still pretend
Is the world just laughing while we cry in disguise?
Are we the echo of sorrow dressed in smiles?
[Female Chorus – full harmony]
We wear it… we wear it…
Dressed in smiles… ooh ooh…
---
[Verse 3]
Sometimes we laugh when the pain cuts deep
When our soul's too tired to even weep
Is it choice or curse, this twisted game?
Where joy and hurt both look the same
[Female Chorus – soft background]
Cuts so deep… can’t even weep…
---
[Final Chorus]
Oh, this laughter we wear like a second skin
Covers the storm that’s raging within
In the darkest nights, when we break and bend
We still play the part, we still pretend
Is the world just laughing while we cry in disguise?
Are we the echo of sorrow dressed in smiles?
[Female Chorus – stronger harmony]
Ohhh… the laughter we weeeear…
Dressed in smiles… in disguuuise…
---
[Outro – Spoken]
I just wonder… my friends…
Are we laughing… or hiding the end?
[Whispered female harmony]
Hiding… the end…
