[Verse]
I wear a grin that's carved in stone
A fake facade I've called my own
Laughter echoes but feels so far
Hiding cracks like a shattered jar
[Verse 2]
They see the charm I project out wide
But in my chest there's no place to hide
A war inside that no one can see
A ghost in the mirror staring back at me
[Chorus]
Smile like a mask but it's breaking apart
Painted on bright but it's eating my heart
Living a lie just to keep them blind
A truth I bury deep in my mind
[Bridge]
Every joke's just a line in the play
Cross my fingers they'll look away
Hold the weight of the world on this face
No one sees the cracks in the space
[Verse 3]
The nights are quiet they scream so loud
I'm hidden well when lost in the crowd
A puppet pulled by strings of despair
Pretend I'm strong to show I care
[Chorus]
Smile like a mask but it's breaking apart
Painted on bright but it's eating my heart
Living a lie just to keep them blind
A truth I bury deep in my mind
