IN THE EYES
What was beautiful
What's profitable
What we've all pursued
Is an adequate disguise
Here you're masquerading
But a look betrays the lies
What you've laid beneath
Buried under glee
Any sign of grief
Has been swept under the rug
Only room for happy
Still I read between the lines
Is there something in your eyes
Behind the glass it lies
And peering in you see it
Betraying your disguise
Despite your hope reveal it
It is in vain you try
There’s nowhere here to hide
Plaster over pain
Hold to your display
Cover up the ways
That you fall into the cracks
Keep up your performance
While your truth leaks through the lines
Is there something in your eyes
Now there's something in your eyes
Now you see there's something wrong with us
Now you see there's something wrong and it's still ok
