fake is the smile I walk around with all day
like I’m wearing a upside down happy face
the words that I mutter is not all I have to say
Not dealing with stupidity is the only heavens grace
So, I walk around with this mask on my damning face
Deep down all I know is a feeling of disgrace
Ripping  gnawing moving happiness out of place
I know I'm not the only one, that’s caught in this state
Now the notion that arises is the world’s completely fake
lies I just navigate and hope I don’t break
Clawing and scratching hoping I can claim a steak
Yet every step I take,
brings me closer to death
Choking to breathe with every dying breath
Hoping to catch a dream before there’s nothing left
Before I’m on my knees regretful and bereft
Before the scythe ascends and I lose my head
