Facade

On the surface of your sorrow
You’re calm and nothing gives away
Your pain.
You cry
Only when it’s dark and you’re alone.
Your world went crumbling down
When he was gone.
The fiber of your being
Is torn apart.
Apart.

Chorus:
When the night falls down,
With crushing force
It lands on your slim shoulders.
Like guilt, the night quite never goes away.
In spite of all,
You bear it all, your will stays strong, unbroken.
Hold on your life regardless of it all.

A new day comes, you cover up again.
You fake a laugh, you
Fake a life each time.
So flawless, the perfection
Fades in shame,
And people walk on by
Like they did always.
It rains.
But even when it rains the sun is there.
Still there.

(Chorus)

Sometimes you wonder if they ever notice
The nature of yourself behind the lies.
But everyone is numb and blind,
Some other things are on their mind.
Don’t judge them,
It is not
Their fault.

(Chorus)

There’s nobody around you can blame.
But if there were, you wouldn’t anyway.
You’re by yourself, you’re all alone,
You leave from work, you don’t come home,
Your life is yours
And they are not invited.

(Chorus 2x)
