Guess it wasn't real after all.
Guess it wasn't real all along.

An illusion
A mask
Hiding the truth
Concealing the truth
Until it peels away
Shows the surface
Shows whats real
And what was fake
The lies that streamed from reality
That poured from the cracks
That covered us
And stopped us from seeing
That our world is fake
That we are fake
Everyone has a secret
Everyone hurts
Everyone cries
Hidden from the smiles
They’re lost
Floating in the dark
Scared to cry out
Thinking they’re so alone
When...

We’re all fake
Plastic
Wearing masks
To hide what’s really inside
Our souls
Ourselves
We guard ourselves
Smile and laugh
While we all hurt
And no one can tell
When they’re surrounded by fakers
By the pretenders
And when they realise
The smile slips off their face
Knowing the truth
That the smiles are fake
That the laughter is fake
That everyone is hurting
That you are one in many
A faker
Screaming lies
Your light is gone
Pursued by your will
But your will was taken
By the agony
You feed off...

It was swell
It went fine
I had a good time
Enjoyed myself even
But now…
Now I can’t take it
With you all it’s good
It’s great
I’m happy
But without you all…
Sometimes, I’m not
I’m just not ok
I want to cry
But I can’t
I want to hurt myself
But I made a promise
I want to yell
I want to bleed
But I wont
Tomorrow
When I see you
It will get better…
Right?

It will, wont it?
