I wore a smile
To cover the stain
Swam in the bottle
To ease the pain
Quick with a quip
Ready with a joke
My anguish never passing from my lip
Levity my cloak
Smiles became heavy
Strains bled thru
In the mirror a shell
Of a man I once knew
The light house has gone dark
No guide in this storm
Acts once unheard of
Now are the norm
Where is my savior
The light to lead my way
Where is my Angel
To lift this endless night
And resurrect the day

I wore a smile
To cover the stain
Swam in the bottle
To ease the pain
Quick with a quip
Ready with a joke
My anguish never passing from my lip
Levity my cloak
Smiles became heavy
Strains bled thru
In the mirror a shell
Of a man I once knew
The light house has gone dark
No guide in this storm
Acts once unheard of
Now are the norm
Where is my savior
The light to lead my way
Where is my Angel
To lift this endless night
And resurrect the day
