Constellation Smile
Your smiles never reach your eyes, these days
In the safety of 'I don't know' you can cry
The world is spun with gold, child
And you only see through the crystal glass
Turning fates and watching the stars
Those smiles are impossibly harsh
In the cruelty of silence
For your mouth and mind are closed
To the fears and darknesses you live in
Someone has gaged you with that smile
And painted your face in vengeance
You wear it like a badge
As though others are blind
They just don't know
Don't know how to sop up the pain
That you hide inside
And how to crack the plaster mask
They just want your smile
I just want your smile
And I want to see it brighten those eyes
Like a thousand fireflies
And for you to notice yourself
Once in a while
Because you are a constellation
A symphony of beauty
Your smile is my melody
Oh what I would do to hear it again
