"Painted Smile" Neriah/ Avid
Falling in too deep
it’s getting hard to hold on
maybe if I try
it won’t be long
drowning in my sleep
far away from it all
maybe if I cry
it won’t be wrong, it won’t be wrong
but I can’t deny my painted smile
down on luck
it’s getting hard to reach time
maybe it’s a dream
it’ll be alright, it’ll be alright
yet I can’t deny my painted smile
and I’ll be on my way, a mile beyond my way
I can sing
I can dance
Just give me a chance
To do my turn for you
There’s a change i’ll slip
But with stiff upper lip
I’ll sing a song for you
Laughter is free
But it’s so hard to be a jester
All the time
And no one’s believing
I’m the same when i’m bleeding
And i hurt all the time deep inside
I’ve shed a tear for the lying
While everyday trying to
Paint this smile for you
Backflips, cartwheelings,
Somersault feelings
What is there left to do
Laughter is free
But it’s so hard for me,
A jester all the time
No one’s believing
I’m the same when i’m bleeding
And i hurt all the time deep inside
Roll up, roll up
Enjoy the show
Pick me up, wind me up, put me down
You’ll see me go
And this painted smile
May miss for a while
Then come back and steal your show
I sing, i dance
Give me a change to do my turn for you
With backflips, cartwheelings,
Somersault feelings
What’s there left to do
Laughter is free
But it’s so hard to be a jester
All the time
No one’s believing
I’m the same when i’m bleeding
And i hurt all the time deep inside
Laughter is free
But it’s so hard to be a jester
All the time
No one’s believing
I’m the same when i’m bleeding
And i hurt all the time deep inside
