A different day
The same old mask you're putting on display
Your audience demands a perfect show
So don't delay
The second they can smell your disarray
They'll run away and you'll be on you own
Cause everybody's got a smile on, so wear a smile as well
And don't forget to never show the pain and never tell
They can't understand you
They'll never accept you
Keep in line
Go play the role
And wear a happy face to cover up the hole
That's growing deep inside of you
A status quo of satisfaction
Masqueraded joy will always be in style
The song that everybody sings
You'd better sing along
Don't let them see the side of you
That's breaking down and losing traction
Hide away your void and don't forget to smile
You try in vain
To plug your old facade into your brain
To plant it deep, so maybe it will grow
But it's too late
Your bitterness is growing by the day
So run away before your cracks are showing
No one wants to know your world is crashing down and falling apart
You'll soon despise the boundaries of your less than human heart
Everybody's happy
Everyone is laughing
Join their high
And learn to play the role
And wear a happy face to cover up the hole
That's growing deep inside of you
A status quo of satisfaction
Masqueraded joy will always be in style
The song that everybody sings
You'd better sing along
Don't let them see the side of you
That's breaking down and losing traction
Hide away your void and don't forget to smile
Go play the role
And wear a happy face to cover up the hole
That's growing deep inside of you
A status quo of satisfaction
Masqueraded joy will always be in style
So go and wear a happy face to cover up the hole
That's growing deep inside of you
A status quo of satisfaction
Masqueraded joy will always be in style
The song that everybody sings
You'd better sing along
Don't let them see the side of you
That's breaking down and losing traction
Hide away your void and don't forget to smile
