I'm not one to cry I'm not one to pout But I am one to smile without any doubt Think of it as white out over what I truly feel Though through all this laughter it's very hard to peel A wonderful mask to cover up the hate All the rage held inside till this very date So if I'm out and about and having a good time Just know I'm actually feeling as sour as a lime And off comes the mask in one solid ****** I throw it to the ground and smash it to dust I can't do it anymore I can't wear this face All this time I've been pretending But all in good taste I didn't want you all to feel down Knowing I was depressed while I'd been clowning around Knowing that I was laughing to keep from crying While inside I was truly dying Whether it be my ink black heart Or my twisted up head Sometimes I just feel like I'd be better off dead No more would I be a downer a frowner amongst you While being held together by the simplest of goo No more morbid jokes or fake smiles No more false joy and acting like a child The old me is gone so wave your goodbyes I'm sorry I had been feeding you nothing but lies But when it's over and all said and done Maybe it's true I was having a little fun Maybe it wasn't over compensation But simply some emotional constipation Maybe now I can comfortably be me Now that my feelings are all dancing free Now I realize that my laughter is genuine Around all of my family and friends So if you're happy or sad Don't wear a face Let it all out and your true friends will embrace They'll help you through trouble and turmoil To ensure that your life doesn't spoil They want you around it's as plain as day So don't wear that face and choose to stay
