NDC w.11/64 Style: Fusion Theme: Contrasts [Verse 1] This is the dark side that makes happy moments worth seeing The back of all music — drugs, violence, and bleeding That hides all the happiness and takes the pleasure from our lives In all weathers Rain and sunshine Always the same drive See how they get stuck in the picture Filter on a bankrupt heart Sells their soul for a kick Calls it pain — we played our part We laugh out loud but we fall asleep with empty chests I want to see more than a half-empty glass and quiet unrest [Chorus] You look so happy on stage Whips back and forth, flicks your legs in a rage But the smile is attached like your false eyelashes No one can see your fakeness through all the flashes [Chorus] You look so happy on stage Whips back and forth, flicks your legs in a rage But the smile is attached like your false eyelashes No one can see your fakeness through all the flashes [Verse 2] I see a teenage night in a kitchen with a messy bench Bottles in a row like trophies — memories we can't quench A mother in the hall waiting for steps that never came A friend in a stairwell Disappearing — never the same Slow and empty They sing about intoxication like life's a party But the next day we are shadows, hollow and heavy I want songs about laughter at a messy table About coffee cups, early mornings, being able [Chorus] You look so happy on stage Whips back and forth, flicks your legs in a rage But your smile is attached like your false eyelashes No one can see your falseness through all the flashes [Chorus] You look so happy on stage Whips back and forth, flicks your legs in a rage But the smile is attached like your false eyelashes No one can see your fakeness through all the flashes [Interlude] Here's the back — but I want to see the front Where no one hides their wounds — that's what I want If this is the price Then we tear up the contracts Happiness grows greater when we stop playing acts [Bridge] What if a simple day is enough A walk, a laugh — even when it's rough Everything we thought we needed to chase Was here beside us All along In this very place [Chorus] You look so happy on stage Whips back and forth, flicks your legs in a rage But the smile is attached like your false eyelashes No one can see your fakeness through all the flashes [Chorus] You look so happy on stage Whips back and forth, flicks your legs in a rage But the smile is attached like your false eyelashes No one can see your fakeness through all the flashes [Outro] This is the back — but we can build the front Wash the blood from the lyrics, that's what we want If this is the price Then we rewrite the beat Happy moments make it worth carrying — now it's complete [Chorus] You look so happy on stage Whips back and forth, flicks your legs in a rage But your smile is attached like your false eyelashes No one can see your fakeness through all the flashes [Chorus] You look so happy on stage Whips back and forth, flicks your legs in a rage But the smile is attached like your false eyelashes No one can see your fakeness through all the flashes
