Lyrics Made Up Smile - Dream State

Made Up Smile

So good, so bright, so bold
So bad, so dull, so cold
We’re meant to feel the touch of real love
We’re nearly out of time
To try and open minds
I really hope it’s worth it
Welcome to the circus
Go!
Is it just my perception
I’m stuck with this question
Is there more to life than what meets my eyes?
I can’t be converted
This world feels inverted
We watch things die more times than I like
I don’t want to be another clone
This hypocrisy is too close to home
Where is the integrity?
Where’s the love?
Is it me or have we not had enough?
Just look, what we’ve done
We’re fooling around, playing the clown
I don’t want a made-up smile
I don’t want to pretend I’m fine
Just look, what we’ve done
We’re running around, playing it down
I don’t want a made-up smile
I don’t want to pretend we’re fine
(Welcome to the circus)
We pull all the strings and dance around the notes
Looking for a quick fix to wash the blood from our throats
Behind windows
All alone
I don’t want to be another clone
This hypocrisy is too close to home
Where is the integrity?
Where’s the love?
Is it me or have we not had enough?
Just look, what we’ve done
We’re fooling around, playing the clown
I don’t want a made-up smile
I don’t want to pretend I’m fine
We’re stuck in a circus
Just trying to find a purpose
Hanging onto tight ropes
Our hearts are on the down-low
I can’t help myself when I’m bored
I can’t help myself when I’m bored
I’m just looking for something more
Even though I feel insecure
What’s even real anymore?
Lights up
Cause less hope is hopeless
I don’t want to be another clone
This hypocrisy is too close to home
Where is the integrity?
Where’s the love?
Is it me or have we not had enough?
Just look at what we’ve done
I don’t want a made-up smile
I don’t want to pretend I’m fine
We’re stuck in a circus (so bright, so bold)
Just trying to find a purpose (so dull, so cold)
Hanging onto tight ropes
With our hearts on the down-low
I can’t help myself when I’m bored
I can’t help myself when I’m bored
I can’t help myself when I’m bored
I can’t help myself when I’m bored
I can’t help myself when I’m bored
I can’t help myself when I’m bored
I can’t help myself when I’m bored
I can’t help myself
