This is the story of a boy
Who took his own life
This is a story of a boy

Who didn't know wrong from right?
He always had a smile
On his face

But from what we hear
the smiles were fake
(Verse 2)

So this is where rights, turn to wrongs
When the camera goes down
Can you fake a smile?

For the rest of the crowd
Strike a pose
And try to please the town

Was this your only way out?
(Chorus)
Well you were stuck, in this picture perfect life

No one knew what lied behind your eyes
For all we knew, you were just a stupid kid
No one knew, the feelings that you hid

(Verse 3)
Put on some make up
To cover up the scars

You don't want anyone to know
Who you really are
Every time you mess up

It's another marking on your arm
Can you see the light?
It's not that far

(Verse 4)
My heroes are liars
My heroes a joke

Can you breathe in this air
Well you continue to choke
The traffic lights are burning

Brighter than the town
Is this our only way out
(Chorus)

(Verse 5)
Take off the masks
For this crowd

Take off the masks
And take your last bow
Maybe we can

Make it a cut for the scene
Or stop being actors
And just be who your meant to be
