Wide Arches - Fake Smiles, Artificial Laughs Lyrics

I can tell by the way you walk
That your head is in your own ass
I can tell by the way you talk
That your twisted tongue is full of lies
I can tell by the way you drink
That you've got a lot bottled up inside
I can tell by the way you laugh
That you're really holding back tears
Walking in a masquerade
Pretending that you're someone else
Welcome to the escapades
Pretend you give two shits or less
Hello, hello
Let your true colours show
Stoop down below
To a level we all know
No need to put on a happy face
No one in this life ever finished the race
I can tell by the way you move
That you're trying to run away from time
I can tell by the way you smile
That you really hate it here
I can tell by the way you smoke
That you'd rather choke yourself to death
I can tell by the way you swear
That you're only ever cursing yourself
Walking in a masquerade,
Pretend to be something you're not,
Your emotions on parade,
Pretend like it all means a lot
Hello, hello
Let your true colours show
Stoop down below
To a level we all know
No need to put on a happy face
No one in this life ever finished the race
Fake smiles artificial laughs
Masks to hide our feelings
Masks to hide our thoughts
Fake smiles artificial laughs
We all act honest, then lie through our teeth
I can tell by the way you act
That you're trying to fit a role
I can tell by the way you think
That your mind is somewhere else
I can tell by the way you try
You've got something on the line
I can tell by the way you sigh
That you also got nothing to lose
Hello, hello
Let your true colours show
Stoop down below
To a level we all know
No need to put on a happy face
No one in this life ever finishes the race
Fake smiles artificial laughs
Masks to hide our feelings
Masks to hide our thoughts
Fake smiles artificial laughs
We all act honest, then lie through our teeth
I can tell by the way you speak
That you don't say what you mean
I can tell by the way you give
That you're trying take it all yourself
I can tell by the way you love
That you never cared for much
I can tell by the way you judge
That you never had a lot of trust
Walking in a masquerade
