Nothing's As It Seems

There are whispers in the air

That tell the stories of our wildest dreams

But leave us empty in despair

But on our own, so everything is as it seems now

With the dark comes a harsher light

And you can't shake the shadow above

That's following you well into the night

Paint your face on with a smile, say to them don't worry

Carry on just for a while, you'll get lost and hurried

Can you see it now?

That nothing's as it seems somehow

And everything you've ever lost

Must have a reason it is never found

Convince yourself you're better off

And you'll be fine

Or at least that's how it sounds But

With the dark comes a harsher light

And you can't shake the shadow above

That's following you well into the night

Paint your face on with a smile, and say to them don't worry

Carry on just for a while, you get lost and hurried

Can you see it now?

That nothing's as it seems somehow

When you don't know how much is enough

Or will get in the way

And you can only bear your soul

When you think that this is your day

But when it's not and you get shot

You wish for someone else's luck

But you can't do nothing

So you must be doing something

Don't you know what it's like

To disappear from someone else's life so you can

Paint your face on with a smile, say to them don't worry

Carry on just for a while, you'll get lost and hurry

Can you see it now?

Can you see it now?

Can you see it now?

That nothing's as it seems somehow
