Run Back

Lyrics 

You greet me kindly...
But something's watching me
Just behind the smile


You shake my hand with steady grace
But I feel heat behind your face
Your smile’s a shield, your voice is calm
But words can be a loaded bomb
You laugh at all the proper times
But crack beneath rehearsed lines
There’s poison painted in your grin
A storm that howls beneath your skin


The lights are on but flickering
Your shadow starts to grow
I see the edge unraveling
Much more than you let show


Behind the smile, a cage of flame
A hidden face that has no name
You wear the light like it’s your skin
But something darker lives within


You say the right things every day
But meaning always slips away
You gift the world a perfect face
While burying yourself in place
I tried to speak, you smiled instead
I tried to reach, you turned your head
Your mirror’s cracked from every lie
Reflections blink and multiply


I see it in your trembling hands
The cracks in your parade
A thousand masks you try to wear
But none of them have stayed


Behind the smile, a cage of flame
A hidden face that has no name
You wear the light like it’s your skin
But something darker lives within


Twisting truths
Flesh and bone
Smiling wide
But all alone
Let it crack
Let it bleed
Tear away
What no one sees


Behind the smile, your soul’s on fire
A hollow voice, a drowned-out choir
You faked the light, but it betrayed
Now in your grin, the ghost has stayed


The grin remains...
But no one’s home.
