Mask of Happiness

escape_artistContemplative

"You gotta learn to hide the anger Practice fake smiles in the mirror It's like a mask."

And once you learn To fake the best smile, Laugh like you mean it, Even if you're dying inside;

People will begin to fall Under the illusion That everyone is happy, And nothing is wrong.

But if you let your guard down, Your walls will fall too. So will that smile Everyone thought was true.

So keep up your walls Even if you're a mess. People only see Your mask of happiness
