Yeah, look at me I'm smiling Are you happy now? Guess I must be okay, right? Look at me I'm dying Are you sad now? Still feel the same though Only I know, only I care, only I show, only I go Yeah, I hear to many demons, that shit's mad They fuck me up, up in my head So don't bother asking, I'd hate to be a liar My lips say 'I'm fine', while my eyes say that I'm tired But I just play pretend and wear the skin of someone else I play pretend and wear the skin of someone else Watch me as I smile, I'm feeling prouder and prouder While shit in my head keeps gettin' louder and louder Then I just play pretend and wear the skin of someone else I play pretend and wear the skin of someone else
