Feral Smiles
Pretty faces
Pretty eyes
Staring back into my soul
How do I wear this disguise
While trying to be who I am
Going through the water
Trying to find the way out
So scared of drowning
Of this makeup washing away
Now I'm going under
Can't see in the dark
What have you done to me
With your words and smiles
Dragging me down, drowning me under
Digging into my skin
Will I ever breathe again
Will I be myself again
Will this fake life lie dead beneath my feet
Rising through the water
I can see the way out
Hands grasp my ankles
Pulling me under
Drowning me, dragging me down
Ripping away my skin
Pretty faces, feral smiles
Pretty eyes, red as blood
I guess I wasn't the one in disguise
After all.
