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
