Masks

Eyes full of sorrow
We're broken in places
Sadness is written on the happiest faces
Some see a smile
But that's what's outside
This sadness we have
We all try to hide
Us grieving, we smile the most

We put on a show
Which happiness hosts
This peace that we grasp for
These laughs that you hear
Are all an illusion
Vulnerability is fear

The voices consume us
All the vacantness looms
We think about the places
Why are we here? (why are we here what do we do)
And what do we do?
Always searching for an answer
Coming up with possible reasons
Welcoming anything in our path
I tell you we are not lost (are we lost?)

We put on a show
Of which happiness hosts
This peace that we grasp for
These laughs that you hear
Are all an illusion
Vulnerability is fear

They say we are not lost
When we feel the way we do feel
The things we do
But how can this be true?
When feeling so empty
Sitting in a crowded room, noise surrounds us
Mouths continue to move
We're merely searching for the truth
