A Town of Illusions

With everything going on in this world,
Sometimes the light of our lives fades,
Dissolving us into the darkness.
Everything becomes the same dejá vù on repeat.
This hypocritical world we live in.

We stop feeling.
We stop caring.
We, eventually, forget how to live.
But somehow, you manage to smile.

Open your eyes,
See behind the lies.
Do you really want to live in a world of black and white?
Sometimes we sink in so deep,
We forget who we are.

You scandalized the world with your sincere smile.
They weren't ready for the truth,
Weren't ready to accept that they've been deceived.

We stopped feeling.
We stopped caring.
We, eventually, forgot how to live.
But somehow, you managed to smile.

But I feel
And I care
And I don't ever want to forget how to live!

There is hope in this world after all,
We just have to have faith in it
And change it even if it's just one smile at a time.
Nobody wants to live in a town of illusions.

Open your eyes,
See behind the lies.
Do you really want to live in a world of black and white?
Sometimes we sink in so deep,
We forget who we are.

But I think we'll remember somehow.
