The show must go on

The words tumble and pour
Open wounds bleed
Upon an empty floor

This one has been told before
A story that never seems to end
One that doesnt get bored
Lets come in and try again
They say with an evil grin

I know its not my place to say it
But i beg for silence as much as i begged for patience

I no longer need you
My head bellows out
Yet my smile plasters onĀ 
My fears turn into doubt

Maybe they changed
Maybe you wont have to beg for a spared time
The little girl
Shes grown now
Maybe she will be enough for them this time

But a fake smile can only last so long
Before the scars begin to bleed
And tears begin to fall
Like a melody of an overplayed song
This isnt how it was supposed to go at all

My heart races
My tears dont stop
All of these faces
Yet none seem to see past the smile
That still hasnt dropped
