Made Up Smile

So good, so bright, so bold So bad, so dull, so cold We're meant to feel the touch of real love We're nearly out of time To try and open minds I really hope it's worth it Welcome to the circus Go! Is it just my perception? I'm stuck with this question Is there more to life than what meets my eyes? I can't be converted This world feels inverted We watch things die more times than I like I don't want to be another clone This hypocrisy is too close to home Where is the integrity? Where's the love? Is it me or have we not had enough? Just look, what we've done We're fooling around, playing the clown I don't want a made up smile I don't want to pretend I'm fine Just look, what we've done We're running around, playing it down I don't want a made up smile I don't want to pretend we're fine Welcome to the circus We pull all the strings and dance around the notes Looking for a quick fix to wash the blood from our throats Behind windows, all alone I don't want to be another clone This hypocrisy is too close to home Where is the integrity Where's the love Is it me or have we not had enough? Just look, what we've done We're fooling around, playing the clown I don't want a made up smile I don't want to pretend I'm fine We're stuck in a circus Just trying to find a purpose Hanging onto tight ropes Our hearts are on the down low I can't help myself when I'm bored I can't help myself when I'm bored I'm just looking for something more Even though I feel insecure What's even real anymore? Lights up Cause less hope is hopeless I don't want to be another clone this hypocrisy is too close to home Where is the integrity? Where's the love? Is it me or have we not had enough? Just look at what we've done I don't want a made up smile I don't want to pretend I'm fine We're stuck in a circus (so bright, so bold) Just trying to find a purpose (so dull, so cold) Hanging onto tight ropes With our hearts on the down low I can't help myself when I'm bored I can't help myself when I'm bored I can't help myself
