I Laugh at Myself

[Verse] I laugh at myself in the mirror light Seen hope and happy dreams in flight Thought the world was brighter than the stars Now I know we're all nursing scars [Verse 2] Joy was just a mask we wore Pain hiding behind every door Can no one see the truth's disguise In a world of hurt and silent cries [Chorus] I laugh at myself it's all a game No one's winning we're all the same Shadows dancing in broad daylight Hoping for a peaceful night [Bridge] Every smile's a hidden plea Longing for a chance to be free Our laughter echoes through the lies Masking tears that fill our eyes [Verse 3] Look around we're all in chains Painted faces hiding strains Hope's a fleeting bird that flies Lost beneath a sea of sighs [Chorus] I laugh at myself it's all a game No one's winning we're all the same Shadows dancing in broad daylight Hoping for a peaceful night
