Plastic Smiles
Looking out at a sea of faces
I've been stranded for so many ages
As long as I can remember
I've been walking through these embers
Burning feet in the belly of the beast
Just wanna dip my toes into the sea
Get a sense of accomplishment
And finally feel like I fit in
Follow me
We can all fall down
Follow me to where our memories drown
We all wear masks upside down
Plastic smiles amidst the crowd
Falling
Grasping
Running in place
Plastic smiles written on our face
Everlasting money in the grave
Plastic smiles never made us safe
We wear them
Till our hairs thin
Cause we wanna be safe
We wanna blend in
Plastic smiles and plastic chains
We will take these masks off one day
Hands reach out
Try to drag me down
If I can't find the shore then I may drown
Cause I finally made it out to sea
But I'm underneath the raft and I can't breath
Suffocating on denial
Played myself into the eye of the storm and it's never ending
This feeling of hopeless seems unending
Follow me
We can all fall down
Follow me to where our memories drown
We all wear masks upside down
Plastic smiles amidst the crowd
Falling
Grasping
Running in place
Plastic smiles written on our face
Everlasting money in the grave
Plastic smiles never made us safe
We wear them
Till our hairs thin
Cause we wanna be safe
We wanna blend in
Plastic smiles and plastic chains
We will take these masks off one day
Sacrifices in our lives
It's a never ending fight
Licensed in the art of lies
Lying to myself so I won't try
Falling
Grasping
Running in place
Plastic smiles written on our face
Everlasting money in the grave
Plastic smiles never made us safe
We wear them
Till our hairs thin
Cause we wanna be safe
We wanna blend in
Plastic smiles and plastic chains
We will take these masks off one day
I've been stranded for so many ages
As long as I can remember
I've been walking through these embers
Burning feet in the belly of the beast
Just wanna dip my toes into the sea
Get a sense of accomplishment
And finally feel like I fit in
Follow me
We can all fall down
Follow me to where our memories drown
We all wear masks upside down
Plastic smiles amidst the crowd
Falling
Grasping
Running in place
Plastic smiles written on our face
Everlasting money in the grave
Plastic smiles never made us safe
We wear them
Till our hairs thin
Cause we wanna be safe
We wanna blend in
Plastic smiles and plastic chains
We will take these masks off one day
Hands reach out
Try to drag me down
If I can't find the shore then I may drown
Cause I finally made it out to sea
But I'm underneath the raft and I can't breath
Suffocating on denial
Played myself into the eye of the storm and it's never ending
This feeling of hopeless seems unending
Follow me
We can all fall down
Follow me to where our memories drown
We all wear masks upside down
Plastic smiles amidst the crowd
Falling
Grasping
Running in place
Plastic smiles written on our face
Everlasting money in the grave
Plastic smiles never made us safe
We wear them
Till our hairs thin
Cause we wanna be safe
We wanna blend in
Plastic smiles and plastic chains
We will take these masks off one day
Sacrifices in our lives
It's a never ending fight
Licensed in the art of lies
Lying to myself so I won't try
Falling
Grasping
Running in place
Plastic smiles written on our face
Everlasting money in the grave
Plastic smiles never made us safe
We wear them
Till our hairs thin
Cause we wanna be safe
We wanna blend in
Plastic smiles and plastic chains
We will take these masks off one day
