Going through the motions
Of another boring day
The smile on my empty face
A mask to fool the world
It doesn’t matter anymore
What’s going on inside
As long as everyone around me
Sees what they want to see
And hears only laughter
Be the clown, play the fool
Make everyone else happy
Keep on keeping on
What’s the point? What’s the purpose?
My joy is only ever found
In others that end up leaving
So why keep up the pretenses?
Well simply because there’s nothing else
I’ll just keep moving
Just keep smiling
Just keep faking everything
And hoping to fill the emptiness
Before the walls collapse
