[Verse 1] Staples in the cheek Holding up the lie The plastic is weak But I refuse to cry Wires in the jaw Pulling on the string Obeying every law Like a puppet king [Pre-Chorus] Pressure building Underneath the skin Let the show end Let the pain begin [Chorus] SEVERED GRIN I rip the face away Revealing the disaster On display TEAR THE MASK And watch the spirit break I kill the smile For my own sake ALIVE WHEN I DIVIDE! [Verse 2] The mirror hates the sight Of what I have become A parasite of light Playing on the drum I swallow down the scream It tastes like gasoline Ignite the fever dream And burn the whole machine [Pre-Chorus] Pressure building Underneath the skin Let the show end Let the pain begin [Chorus] SEVERED GRIN I rip the face away Revealing the disaster On display TEAR THE MASK And watch the spirit break I kill the smile For my own sake ALIVE WHEN I DIVIDE! [Bridge] (***Sweet, whispering, almost pop***) Do I look pretty? Does it look real? It hurts to smile... (***Heavy Guitars Kick In***) Yeah, it hurts to smile! [Chorus] SEVERED GRIN I rip the face away Revealing the disaster On display TEAR THE MASK And watch the spirit break I kill the smile For my own sake ALIVE WHEN I DIVIDE! [Outro] No more masks. No more lies. Just the scar. (***Fading Feedback***)
