Lyrics
Painted On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Make two eyes
to see what you look like,
and then hands
so you can feel around.
You have made most every part;
you cant a fake a beating heart.
You're painted on,
and you're afraid the same as everyone.
You're painted on,
and you call this fun.
Search your face for signs of life.
You look just fine, and you live a lie.
You will take what you can get
and fill the emptiness with it,
cause you're painted on,
and you are as scared as the day is long.
You're painted on,
and your smile is fooling no one.
Cause you're painted on,
and you are as scared as the day is long.
You're painted on,
yes youre afraid the same as everyone.
You're painted on,
youre scared as the day is long.
You're painted on,
your smile is fooling no one.
You're painted on,
you call this fun.
You're painted on,
youre scared as the day is long.
You're painted on,
your smile is fooling no one.
You're painted on.
