This Mask is Molded to Look Just Like Her Face - Great Quality, High Price.

Painted-on smile, just like a clown.
Like a prisoner, with the chains hanging down.
Wanted to be an actress since brith.
Who knew faking a smile is more than its worth?
Pain on my heart deep in my chest.
It's fine - day to day I try to do my best.
Make each scar shine just like a tattoo.
Secrets buried deep from you.
Don't worry - this blood always stays inside.
It's just myself that can't help but hide.

No offense.
