Smile Is Fake

My eyes are hurting from the pressure I put them under
I'm lying in my bed pretending all is fine
There is hope for the break of dawn but
All this weight inside is keeping me confined

I'm crawling back under my heavy blanket
Tired of the world I made up for myself
Tired of overthinking and the resentment
And dealing with my empty shell

I'm veiling my pain
Can they see my smile is fake?
Fatefully fractured
Can't find the right way
Still trying to hold on
Trying so hard not to break
Always posting happy pictures
But what if they see
My smile is fake?
What if they see
My smile is fake?

I wanna clear my mind from the unclean
But I can't lift the cover of my book
Cause then I'd find myself back in ward 19
And all the nightmares that I went through

I'm veiling my pain
Can they see my smile is fake?
Fatefully fractured
Can't find the right way
Still trying to hold on
Trying so hard not to break
Always posting happy pictures
But what if they see
My smile is fake?
What if they see
My smile is fake?

I thought I had my shit together
Did I just pretend?
I thought I had my shit together
Did I just pretend?

I'm veiling my pain
Can they see my smile is fake?
Fatefully fractured
Can't find the right way
Still trying to hold on
Trying so hard not to break
Always posting happy pictures
But what if they see
My smile is fake?
What if they see
My smile is fake?
What if they see
My smile is fake
