The Gloomy Jester - Painted Smile

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Powder on a fragile face,
Glittered lies in thin disguise.
Spotlights burn across the stage,
No one reads between my eyes.

Pre-Chorus
Every laugh on cue and time,
Every ache beneath the mime.

Chorus
This painted smile holds the line,
Fixed and flawless by design.
Clap along, enjoy the show,
You don’t see what lies below.
I’m your fool beneath the aisle,
Fading slow in porcelain style.

Verse 2
Scripted wit and practiced grace,
Spinning tales I don’t believe.
Dancing on a borrowed thread,
Selling dreams I cannot keep.

Pre-Chorus
Take a bow, don’t let it shake,
Hide the fracture, never break.

Chorus
This painted smile holds the line,
Bright as any warning sign.
Front-row cheers and flashing light,
Blind to what I hide from sight.
I’m your fool beneath the aisle,
Fading slow in porcelain style.

Bridge
If I wash the colors thin,
What remains beneath the skin?
Is the mask my only role,
Or the cage around my soul?

Final Chorus
The painted grin begins to crack,
Hear the silence pushing back.
Velvet curtains start to fall,
Echoes ring along the hall.
Still I stand in single file—
Repainting fate with one last smile.

Outro
When the stage lights finally dim,
Who am I when cheers grow thin?
