Cheerful Complex

(Verse 1) In a world painted bright with lies, Where laughter echoes, but the truth still sighs, Behind the smiles, the shadows creep, In the cheer, a promise broken deep. Tripping over dreams like fragile glass, Each step a dance, but the music won't last, We laugh to hide the cracks inside, In this cheerful complex, we all collide. (Chorus) Oh, this cheerful complex, a masquerade, Worn like a shield, in the night, we fade. With painted faces and hearts in disarray, Can we find the light when it’s all a charade? (Verse 2) Every joke feels like a bittersweet knife, Cutting through the chaos of this restless life. And every grin is just a fleeting guise, In this carnival of fading skies. We slam the doors of our sepulchral souls, While dancing under neon, in empty shoals, The laughter echoes, but it can't erase, The hollow feeling in this circus space. (Chorus) Oh, this cheerful complex, a masquerade, Worn like a shield, in the night, we fade. With painted faces and hearts in disarray, Can we find the light when it’s all a charade? (Bridge) Can you hear the whispers in the crowded room? They’re drowning in the noise, filled with silent gloom. Those "I’m fine" declarations, all whispers in vain, Holding on to happiness, while dancing in pain. (Chorus) Oh, this cheerful complex, a masquerade, Worn like a shield, in the night, we fade. With painted faces and hearts in disarray, Can we find the light when it’s all a charade? (Verse 3) Now standing at the edge of all we’ve known, Searching for the truth in the seeds we’ve sown. Through shattered laughter, can we still believe? In this cheerful complex, are we doomed to grieve? (Outro) So let the shadows fall as the music fades low, In this masquerade, there's nowhere left to go. With every smile a reminder of the wreck within, We'll wear our cheers like empty skins, In this cheerful complex, where do we begin?
