Behind that smile
Look at me who do u see
do u see qualifications for who I'm destined to be
how bout a future do u see a bright road
or only the dark path that I've come to know.
Have u seen my mistakes my sin or my flaws
if u think I'm ok, u haven't seen me at all
I've strayed and fallen away from my calling
my weakness has broke me right down now I'm crawling
But nobody understands they think I'm a rolemodel
but u want to know the truth I don't roll how I model
My heart is almost as black as the night, my intentions are wicked and it's twisted my mind
I cant even be around others for to long of time
from fear I might reveal these demons I fight
the shadows are here and there coming with violence, can someone please help me I'm screaming in silence!!
I'm afraid it's un doable these deeds I have done, my chances of survival are zero to none
I cry my eyes dry when I find myself alone, then I wash up my face cause no tear is to show
so each day I put on some make up and hide all my shadows and I smile that smile that hides all my battles.
