#fakehappy
Oh no,
it happens every time.
History repeats itself
in so many variations,
and we’re trying–
not to get lost
in the lying.
So many faces,
vague yet familiar,
it’s a race to the bottom,
and we’re barely surviving.
There’s a ghost
in the town we used
to romanticize–
the shadow of a demon
we all tried to show
the light.
And he pointed
to the mirror–
to show us how
we’ve become
a shadow of ourselves,
a not-so-familiar guise
we’ve grown accustomed to,
just to give ourselves
a glimpse
of what it feels like
to be fake happy.
The past,
present,
and future
are connected–
and it’s all
going down
unless we
stop it
from happening.
We can put on
a facade,
but there are cracks
in the foundation.
History repeats itself,
in many variations.
I promise you–
we’re trying.

Give me all your pretences,
'cause i have no defences
Hide away your prejudices,
i've thrown all my dices
Put me on a pedestal,
'cause i like being the fake royal
All the time,...
... all the time...
That's how i'm fine,
all these times...
Let me know again how it feels to fly...
for i don't care if it's just your lie...

It's a game in the sand when you get something from me,
Sight the clouds in the sky when the suns too bright to see,
It's all strange in my head, when did shadows start to breathe,
All is fun 'til someone makes you see reality.
You like what you see when I fake being happy,
They will see hope when I see my neck snapping,
A cry in the dark leads the bullets right to me,
Sound the sirens when the chains start to take what once was free.
Don't you know the real from the fake,
Grab a hand in case, must I pray, for your sake,
No one knows knives from pillows till they lay down,
Next time you see, know a grin from a frown.

Saying hello with a bright smile and welcoming eyes
How did I get so good at pretending
My insides are on fire
I could burn this whole place down
For the sake of everyone on their highs,
I won't
put holes in these walls with my angry fists
yell at the undeserving
I will
keep pretending
until it becomes my reality

When did a smile become a challenge?
A widespread facade?
A sign of danger?
A mask?
