Behind The Smile

Sands of time
Running through my fingers
My life's sliping away
And I fell nothing
Swallow the tears, eat the pain
It's worth the degradation
Eat the pain
Behind the smile, I feel nothing
I reach out to touch
But I'm not really there
The reflection in the mirror
Can't really be me
I see no connection with who
I wanted to be
Drink another glas
Swallow these pills
At the end of the rainbow
You take the bitter
The bitter with the sweet
Behind the smile, I feel nothing
I reach out to touch
But I'm not really there
When love dies
The angels cry
Here I am
Alone,
Alone in a crowd
Behind the smile, I feel nothing
I reach out to touch
But I'm not really there
