Plastic Smile

lyrics by: Trevor Cartwright
Written on Apr 28, 2025 

Verse 1
Here I lie in misery
Waiting for this pain to leave me
And it never changes. Nothing ever changes
Every day seems longer than the last
Broken memories tangle and collapse

Chorus
Have you ever felt lost inside, falling to pieces from the inside out?
Broken dreams and desperate screams hide behind the smile, the plastic smile.

Verse 2
Here I stand, jaded and numb
Searching for relief that never comes
And it never changes, nothing ever changes
Nightly prayers become angst-filled tirades
Future hope is swallowed in decay

Bridge
But still I cling to hope, when all seems lost
Destitute and scarred, but holding on 
Trampled through the night, praying for dawn
But still I cling to hope, that transcends cost
