Behind Her Smile

In the window, there's a girl She screams to the Gods above She begs please to be released But she's just left shouting louder 'Cause in her melancholy world All the colours are fading and run From this disease, she can't find peace For one day, one minute or hour Maybe she knows that life is a joke So she spins like a whirling dervish For love in a stranger's eyes She drinks 'til the morning light 'Cause behind her smile There's a clown and he laughs With an evil that swallows you whole Making fun of her every day But there's nowhere to run away Behind her smile There's a demon who'll dance On the pieces left of her soul Keeps reminding her every day That it'll always be this way You will find her next to you She's disguised in ribbons and bows With perfect nails, she never fails To be the life, the soul, the party And though her heart is painted blue In the crowd, there's no one who knows Run off the rails, she tips the scales Yeah, she laughs but life weighs heavy 'Cause behind her smile There's a clown and he laughs With an evil that swallows you whole Making fun of her every day But there's nowhere to run away Behind her smile There's a demon who'll dance On the pieces left of her soul Keeps reminding her every day That it'll always be this way She turns on the taps And wonders how to drown herself today Wonders if she'll make it out okay Hopes that the cold will soon be over She rolls back the sheets And tries her best to find another way To make it to another lonely day Hopes to God the clown will not expose her
