What is a smile without the pain.
Does it feel like you are on bliss?
Or
Does it scream out hope?

a smile - all me can afford for now,
all those tears used up,
all left is mine little heart, bankrupt.

peace - my only state, alas,
the little heart has nothing to lose
from what has never been.

yet, never a single cent of love
from the heart's expenses, be a waste
even if there was nothing, in return.


peace.

Fake Smiles
The old soul classic
Smiling faces got it right

“Smiling faces sometimes
Pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces
Of the evil that lurks within (can you dig it?)

Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof

Oh, oh, yeah
Let me tell you

The truth is in the eyes 'cause the eyes don't lie, amen
Remember, a smile is just a frown turned upside down my friend
So, hear me when I'm saying

Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes, yeah
They don't tell the truth

Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof
(Beware) beware of the handshake
That hides the snake (can you dig it, can you dig it?)

I'm a-tellin' you beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back

Jealousy, (jealousy) misery (misery) envy (envy)
I…”

Boy did the singer get it right
In this world of fake things
Where the market rules us all

The art of the fake smile
Has been perfected

They say that many people
Have mastered the art of the fake smile

Where you smile
and pretend to like someone

your victim
does not suspect

that the smile
is because you are thinking
of stabbing them in the back

oh yes in a world of fake people
beware, beware of smiling faces

When you are laughing so hard
It's hard to breath
But you can't stop that smile

When you think of your crush
You are just so happy
Your smile is effortless
It just happens
A reaction

Then there is the one
That you are so used to
That one where you have to use all of the muscles in your face
It takes all of your energy
Because it's so hard to fake now a days

A smile can tell so much
And nothing at all

Because people can't see what's behind closed doors
And a wide smile

Don’t just say it with words,
Convey it with your wishful thinking,
Say it with your glistening smile,
Carry it with your pouring tears,
Speak it in the delicate language of flowers.


Don’t just say it with words,
Express it with the tenderness of your heart!
Deliver it through a helping hand,
Whisper it in the murmur of your prayer,
Declare it with the language that is unspoken!

Everyone  I love goes away,
What I have become,
My sweetest dead rose in the midst of a flower season,
Blending in- mixture of confusion,
Real ones ain't of first sights,
Fake ones.. Their smiles coat it all,
In this black hole without ending,
You trip and only till you drawn,
Cause everyone you love goes,
Always tripping  on the dark side of life,
It's all sugar coated fake
