People cover up wounds with bandages,
whether it's the littlest paper cut,
or the largest **** all the way to the bone.
They are always covered with bandages,
hidden for no one else to see.

That's what's happening to society
We're all hurting,
whether it's the littlest paper cut in the heart,
to the largest **** all the way to the bone.
But we are forced to cover it up with a smile,
so no one will see we are dying.
You don't realize how people are hurting inside,
all you see is the smile.
And sooner or later,
you will look in her casket and say
"I always remembered her beautiful smile,
I never knew she was hurting inside".

Laugh and release those endorphins
(your minds a chemical soup)

the very essence of you

waiting to be slurped
(and drip down my chin)
It is unfortunate how time
can bring about so much change.
Within seconds and minutes,
I'm driving even more insane
because now -- no one can add
beauty to my never ending pain.
The worst place you could ever be is in your feelings. *sigh*
