Trickster of a Smile

by Void   Dec 1, 2005


You're yelling, you are screaming
You're pushing me around
Tell me how I'm worthless,
Remind me not to make a sound
Don't show my suffering
Or the bruises on my arm
Keep everything a secret
And hide the pain with a smile...

It's a trickster of a smile
Only there to keep control
No matter how harsh the pain
Or how cold the pouring rain
All you'll ever see upon this face
Is this, trickster of a smile

I'm sitting on a curb
A few blocks from my house
Night time in the city
And I don't want to be found

Strangers are muttering
Cars are screeching
Thunder is clapping
And my smile will stay on
I'm lost in my thought,
Lost in my heart ache
Longing for a life
To make me happy for goodness sake

It's still a trickster of a smile
Only there to keep control
No matter how harsh the pain,
Or how cold the pouring rain
All anyones ever seen of me
Is my trickster of a smile

This is another song of mine. It might not seem to have a smooth flow when your reading it, but the rhythm of words and how i sing them are just as I want them. hehe. Leave a comment if you can, tell me what you think, opinions are everything to me :)
