Hollow Smile

Hollow Smile

[Lyrics]

It’s just an act
Performed on a stage
So I fake the part
To stay disengaged

Put on the costume
Muster up a grin
Won’t let you know
The pain deep within

It’s a hollow smile
Pasted on my face
If you look away
It’s already erased
I’m just a player
Upon my stage
It’s a hollow smile
On display

Can’t seem to shape it
Conjure up the real
When it’s only emptiness
That I feel

Can’t seem to twist it
Into something true
Wish for the genuine
Pressed on with glue

It’s a hollow smile
Pasted on my face
If you look away
It’s already erased
I’m just a player
Upon my stage
It’s a hollow smile
On display

Grin and bear it
Go through the motions
Laugh if I must
Before you get the notion
God shaped hole deep inside
Haven’t been filled I confide

It’s a hollow smile
Pasted on my face
If you look away
It’s already erased
I’m just a player
Upon my stage
It’s a hollow smile
On display
