We're Fine (Fake A Smile)

(V1)

Always stuck in the past

Lost in the dark

Waiting for something new

Instead of taking it by the arm

What a shame

Losing a war to misery

Instead of finding peace

In a hopeless place

We’re lost

It’s killing us

(C)

But we say we’re fine

In another mask

Fake a smile

To say

We’re the best actors around

Never going down

(V2)

We look so good form the outside

Torn apart on the inside

Faking everything

We say and do

Falling apart at the seams

Never thinking

Never comprehending

What we could be

(END)

It is just me

Or is this insane

Losing our minds

Over the little things

Cause we’re so jaded

So overrated

All the same

All the fucking same

But we say we’re fine

In another mask

Fake a smile

To say

We’re the best fucking actors around

Never going down

We’re never going down

Faking this smile

Cause we say we’re fine

Fresh Start

(V1)

I’m taking everything

I’ve ever written

This story I’ve been

Working on for so long

These paper walls

I’ve built up

For a feeling of protection

Just to watch them

All burn to the ground

I need a fresh start

(C)

Give me something

To fight for

Give me something

To live for

Take away this state of mind

This state of peace

This complacent sense

I’ve been stuck in

For far too long

It’s time for something new

(V2)

I hate what I’ve become

The actor hiding away

Waiting for another day

To pass away

Just another set back

I won’t let it tell me

Who I am, anymore

(B)

I’m tired of the same shit

Different day, different day

Stuck in my own head

Wasting away

In this contentment

I’ve created

(END)

Set ablaze everything

We’ve ever known

Watch it burn to the ground

As it all disappears

We can tear it apart

Rebuild from the start

Looking for something fresh

It’s time to start again
