[ Featuring Spyda JC ]
Even when the stars fade away Leaving darkness here to stay, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby Laughter is so hollow, baby
Cause in the end, what's left to find Shattered pieces, lost in time, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby Laughter is so hollow, baby
Behind the mask, the pain we hide The smile that fights, the tears inside, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby Can't let go
The mask they wear, they start to crack The villain truth, it can't depend, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby Laughter is so hollow, baby
Laughter is so hollow, baby Just a big disguise
Just a big disguise Underneath the mask we wear
That's hiding all the lies As the world keeps going on
Oblivious and blind Inside we are shattering
The pieces we can't find With the weight of our own pride
In the silence we confide, you know
Hoping someone hears your cry With a flame that never dies, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby Laughter is so hollow, baby
Behind the mask, the pain we hide The smile that fights, the tears inside, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby Can't let go
The mask they wear, they start to crack The villain truth, it can't depend, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby Laughter is so hollow, baby
Laughter is so hollow, baby Laughter is so hollow, baby you know
Can't let go
Take my life away You take what hides my pain, you know
Laughter is so hollow
If you could see what's wrong behind the mask Would you care if you wouldn't? Even then, why'd you ask
You wanna see where I hide pain And see what's in my brain
My cheeks hurt from smiling But there's nothing like the pain hidden behind the laugh
I was taught as a boy to be a soldier If you feel tears, then hold them
Cause when you're weak, they'll expose ya And nobody'll hold ya
A culture through the emotions So why just sit back and grin
Cause it helps contain the explosion
Behind the mask, the pain we hide The smile that fights, the tears inside, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby
Can't let go
The mask they wear, they start to crack The villain truth, it can't depend, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby Laughter is so hollow, baby
Mmm, mmm, mmm
