Lyrics

Smile on my face but the tears in my chest,
Hiding all the pain, never giving it rest.
People see the light, but I’m drowning in night,
Wearing this mask, yeah, it’s tight, too tight.
Every joke I drop is a blade in disguise,
Every laugh I fake is a scream in my eyes.
Can’t let ’em know, can’t let it out,
So I swallow the rage, turn silence to shouts.
Why do I hide the storm in my veins?
Why do I smile while I’m breaking in chains?
When will these feelings finally be free?
Will I turn into a killer when they’re unleashed in me?
False reflection, I’m a ghost in the glass,
Acting like I’m fine but the pain won’t pass.
Smile for the cameras, nod in the crowd,
But my soul’s screaming, crying out loud.
Tired of the lies, tired of the game,
Tired of burning in invisible flames.
If the mask shatters, if the dam breaks,
Will I become the monster my silence makes?
Why do I hide the storm in my veins?
Why do I smile while I’m breaking in chains?
When will these feelings finally be free?
Will I turn into a killer when they’re unleashed in me?
I’m scared of myself, of the beast inside,
Of the shadows I carry, nowhere to hide.
If I release the pain, will I taste blood?
Or just drown again in an endless flood?
Every “I’m fine” is a lie I spit,
Every laugh rehearsed, I don’t believe it.
Living in a cage built from my grin,
Praying one day I can shed this skin.
But the darker it gets, the sharper the blade,
The closer I come to the killer I’ve made.
Holding it back, but I’m cracking each day,
Wondering when I’ll explode, fade away.
Why do I hide the storm in my veins?
Why do I smile while I’m breaking in chains?
When will these feelings finally be free?
Will I turn into a killer when they’re unleashed in me?
So I laugh, I smile, I play the role,
But a shadow’s eating holes in my soul.
If tomorrow I break, no one will see,
This smiling assassin was always me.
