Oh, the lies
Tricks of the light
Liars to the world... the clowns
Their eerily painted-on smiles
They never true emotion
QUICK! another layer
The faces so nice to gaze upon
Except for those of us who know the truth
What lies beneath is secret to all those except the owner of the face
But to see so little of ones own face... who really remembers what is there
NEWSFLASH!
The lines of moisture are cutting through
QUICK! another layer
So many people watching every move
Must not fall from this high place
Fear flashes behind eyes
On display for those who don't see
Wink at them all
Keep them happy at all costs
One unhappy look
One unkind word
A face shows real anger for the first time
QUICK! another layer
Yes another layer
Just one more now
But the makeup begins to run low
And there's no way to put on new layers
What was beneath begins to show through
And now they can finally see
Once gazes now are glares
The laughter slowly turning into screams
They couldn't keep the truth forever
No matter how blind the eyes watching
We few hold our knowing smiles
Because we predicted this long ago
So hopefully you all like this one better than my first two... but if you don't that's okay. Rip away.
