Behind the Glass

I close the door behind my back Put on the smile that I always lack They see a calm girl walking by Just keeping pace as time goes by A friendly wave, a quick "I'm fine" Following the script, staying in line ​ But behind the mirror, behind the glass Someone is forgetting who she was in the past The words fall silent, the noise grows loud I see the world, but I'm trapped in the crowd ​ On the outside, the world keeps spinning round On the inside, I'm losing my ground I play my part, I know my line Until the screen fades out of time A tight facade, a peaceful face But deep inside, the light fades without a trace ​ The clock ticks on, the day is full Playing my role, predictable They think the storm has finally passed Because I learned to wear the mask "You look so good," says a voice in the hall But holding it together takes the biggest toll ​ Behind the window, behind the glass Silence looks for who I was in the past The words fade out, my heart feels locked Holding control before it all gets wrecked ​ On the outside, the world keeps spinning round On the inside, I'm losing my ground I play my part, I know my line Until the screen fades out of time A tight facade, a peaceful face But deep inside, the light fades without a trace ​ Quiet in the room as the evening creeps Where loneliness wanders while the city sleeps It takes so much strength to pretend all day Till the noise in my head takes it all away No one can see what's left behind... ​ On the outside, the world keeps spinning round On the inside, I'm losing my ground I play my part, I know my line Until the screen fades out of time A tight facade, a peaceful face But deep inside, the light fades without a trace ​ They only see what I choose to show But behind my front door... The silence grows.
