"Her Life"
You fake a smile
And slowly die
And change
On the inside
How'd it come to this?
When did it start?
Smile, wave, act
Why can't they see?
All the lies
You start to change
While no one pays any heed
Black and dark makeup around your eyes
Hair parted to the left
Concealing your right eye
No one cares about the makeup
All of it is waterproof
So it won't trail down your cheeks
How'd it come to this?
When did it start?
Smile, wave, act
Why can't they see?
All the lies
A new school, a new place
New friends, new enemies
Where will you fall?
In all the black and makeup
Will you continue to go home?
Should you even go back?
You fall in with a group
And then fall with a second
Now you must decide your life
How'd it come to this?
When did it start?
Smile, wave, act
Why can't they see?
All the lies
School and academics
No drugs or beer in sight
A clean life with friends
The second place you fell into
Or will you choose
Drugs and beer and angst
A party of loud mouthed misery
Empathetic but high
Just not caring or thinking
How'd it come to this?
When did it start?
Smile, wave, act
Why can't they see?
All the lies
Smile, wave, act
Why can't they see?
(All the lies)
This was my first shot at lyrics…. It had started out at as a poem but then I randomly felt like writing lyrics. Something different.
