Filanthropy - I SAID SMILE

Picture perfect moments seem to show themselves, please don't go out just to chase them
Those that force the moment lose the memory, only good on printed film
Like looking back on memories made
Some seem so fake
So forced
Lackluster, full of grey
Full of grey
The world outside is a beautiful place
We just tend to get some dirt on the window, all fogged up
We don't see the fact it's all around us
Capture every single moment
Like the ones your mom
Would make you smile
For the family picture
Would comply with a groan
We're all caught up in the mirror
Far too focused on reflections
Only seeing imperfections
Making all our issues worse
Hating who we are
But it's all just mis directed
We just miss the point
We cover up
Like on our socials
Lives are sheltered and unopened
Never opening up who we are
For all to see
We're too scared of that
What will they think
Will i be alright
Do they care right now
Hope my hair looks nice
Do they care right now
We feed into the cycle of not giving and just taking
Then get offended what we're given
Like we don't contribute to the issue
All this seems like wasted breath
I been taking to the wall
I just really hope my passion doesn't die
Like the friendships that i've gad the past
I just really hope my passion doesn't die
Like the friendships
That i lay to rest
Accuse me, what you want to say?
I don't take a second thought to it
Stand by what i say, and i'm never gonna change
Truth be told i've made mistakes
But they've just helped me grow some more in to the person that stands here
I stay unfazed by all the hate
Like this just helps me motivate
Take the top off of my ego
I have been so low that it hurt
Another problem that i seem to have
With these relations getting in
Is partway through the start i feel as though i'm losing them already
And
I know that just might be the past me breathing down my neck
But still it gets me every time i wake up with you in my head
I don't care if i'm not loved
I don't care if they don't listen
I don't want approval from the people throwing down their hate
Cause i know in the end and where i'm going
Makes it easy in the moment
Said i know the end and where i'm going
Why did he just take his life
Why did she do that to herself
Why did they do that to them
Why is everyone just acting normal
Like there's too many issues that i have to write about in one song
But forcing smiles and "happy thoughts" doesn't get you too far
I been saying
Fake it till you make it
But not on words that you are saying
Being broken is quite necessary
When solutions found in mending
Process
Everydays a different one
With new encounters
Room for fun
And sadness
Gladness
Joy
And peace
Unease
Emotion running rampant
Every body out there thinks they live their life alone
So lonesome no one noticed
They don't know what's going on
They can't see the issues that i face
Every single day
Whether dark or light
I fight myself
I beat myself into the ground
I'm feeling helped
Then i'm feeling lost
Nobody can understand the pain
Do you get it now
That i've made you see
Did it work when i did that
Feel the pain i feel?
Just a taste
Cause if you
Force the moment
That means you'll lose the memory, only will be good on printed film
If you
Force the moment
That means you'll lose the memory, only will be good on printed film
Film
Film
