Setting The Right Example by Travis Teeter
Facades of happiness, Shades of deception, and Pain..
Smiles that could break faces, laughter of the insane..
Do you have any idea of the face behind the mask?
How could you? You were never up to that task..
It'll all be too late before either of us know what hit,
And you'll wonder 'Why?' or will you even give a shit?
We're all selfish, its fine..Who cares if someone were to cry?
Tears that hit like bombs, just subtle hints for one about to die.
Not strong enough? Fair to say, after all, we all have to lie..
Oh..you're wearing a mask too, you have too in order to get by..
Is it strong to ignore whats wrong infront of your face?
To hide away your problems, instead of putting them in the right place..
Atleast I know when I'm in over my head, things are too hard..
This is your gut check, your inside view to the path I've carved.
Don't try this at home kids, don't follow that paved way..
Because you'll come to regret it, like I have, Someday.
