The Smile that Hides it All

[Intro] [Verse] Laughter fades like dying embers As I drift through these crowded rooms Visions of connection merely phantoms Lonely specters I can't consume [DROP] [Pre-Chorus] I'm raw and overexposed Laying my heart on the line Will you see past this outer shell? And decipher my true design? [Chorus] I'm the face you think you know The smile that hides it all Behind these rehearsed hellos I'm fading into walls You see the act, not the truth below As I silently withdraw [Hook] Surrounded but Alone inside Myself I have to hide Just a ghost they'll never see I just fade away, silently [Solo Synth keyboard] [DROP] [Repeat to fade] The smile that hides it all
