Oh that you could forge a smile
That made it all the way to your eyes
It sputters out at the corners of your mouth
Your eyes do not dance in the light

Barely do I even try
To fake a perfect smile
Still you must be the fool
To believe such a thing

But I am not innocent
Still I want no blame
That I would make such a thing
To trap you within

We cannot all see past the surface
Is not the depth of the water
Unknown by those on the shore
Until they break open the waves

It is a silent cry
From the hollows of my cheeks
You cannot touch with your hands
That which you see with your heart
