Bassline Brutalism Beats - Plastic Smiles Lyrics

They're all lined up, painted gold
Hiding cracks they hope won't show
Laughing loud, but it's so cold
A masquerade of shallow souls

Turn away, but i see through
The hollow lies they hold on to
Every smile, every glance
A fleeting act, a brittle dance

Plastic smiles can't hide the pain
They crack and fall, it's all the same
I'll shine bright, i'll stay true
No mask can hold what i've been through
Plastic smiles, they fade away
But my light will never stray

Look around, the truth is rare
In a sea of faces, none compare
Perfect lips, but hollow eyes
I won't be caught in their disguise

Take it off, let it go
Who are you beneath the show
Strip away the shine you wear
Find the courage, if you dare

Plastic smiles can't hide the pain
They crack and fall, it's all the same
I'll shine bright, i'll stay true
No mask can hold what i've been through
Plastic smiles, they fade away
But my light will never stray

They're all lined up, painted gold
But i refuse to play the role
My truth's a fire, let it grow
A light they'll never overthrow
