The mirror shows who I don't want to be
A painted face that won't set me free
The crowd is screaming, but they don't hear the pain
A storm inside masked by the rain
And every step echoes the void
A stage of shadows, a life destroyed
Laughs in the dark, drifting with no direction
Hiding the tears that fall in reflection
The mask is heavy, but it won't ever fall
The show goes on, even if I lose it all
I'm lost in the streets, a chaos unbound
The laughter cuts deep, a deafening sound
Painting my fate with colors of despair
In the game of life, no one plays fair
And the abyss sings its haunting tune
A twisted dance under the pale moon
Laughs in the dark, drifting with no direction
Hiding the tears that fall in reflection
The mask is heavy, but it won't ever fall
The show goes on, even if I lose it all
If the world's just a cruel, twisted joke
Why does laughter feel like a heavy yoke?
If pain's the audience that always cheers
I fall alone, drowning in my fears
Laughs in the dark, drifting with no direction
Hiding the tears that fall in reflection
The mask is heavy, but it won't ever fall
The show goes on, even if I lose it all
One last act, one final stare
The laughter breaks, too much to bear
Silence replies, the echo is clear
In laughter's pain, I live and disappear
