Simple Disguise

I see those eyes, the secrets they hold
You won’t tell anybody, your soul’s been sold
You’ll cry in the dark, and smile at day
Night comes, and the demon’s come out to play
Those hands, they have a tight grip
But soon enough, you know those hands will slip
Walking away won’t make things last longer
Those monsters inside you are just getting stronger

Keep pretending, I know you’re losing it
It’s coming close, just keep doing it
Your insides will eventually waste away
The game’s up, there’s no more time to play
You know it’s not healthy, but damn you’re so good
Keep pretending, honey, I know you would
Those ghosts float around the foot of your bed
While the monsters battle it out inside your head

You know those pretty lights will fade away
There’ll be another night and another day
Things will change and friends will leave
Life won’t stop, and you’ll deceive
Pretty little actress, pretty little eyes
Pretty little smile, just a simple disguise
