Lyrics by Bryan Lee

Faces reflecting moods, while the eyes tell a different story. Said, "I'm fine but how are you?"
Never been better, it's just not true. But it's what you're supposed to say, so you
may as well say it, doesn't matter much any way it goes, it's the way it should be,
or at least that's what's been told to me. We wear smiles while the cameras are rolling
'cause it's unacceptable to have emotions controlling what we say in the view of the public
should remain clear of a negative subject. Give in pretend, transcend what you're not,
give in, pretend, transcend what you're not. Suck up, buck up, but don't give up your spot.
Put your feelings aside, 'cause it's better to abide by the law of the land in which you reside. Have you pride?
Have you pride? Doe's your pride come from resistance? Who are you tonight,
someone polite, someone who might be doing no wrong, but wait, that's not you.
It's who they wanted you to be. So just play along. They won't catch on
but how long can the act last I ask. Who are you now? Are you someone proud?
Someone allowed to think for themselves, while someone else's words come out of your mouth.
We were meant to be, you and me. We were meant to be, you and me.
These lines, these lines, given as a token for my precious.
These lies, these lies, given as a token for my precious.
Though she's never really listening, never really listening, I wonder if
it's better to fake happiness than to be deliberately depressed. I rest my case,
you haven't heard a word I've said its that vacant look of self expression
that gives you away. That split second that passed between what you thought
and what you actually say has elapsed and
I can see right through your bubble bath. I can see right through your bubble bath.
We were meant to be, you and me. We were meant to be, you and me.
