[Arashi]

Underneath The puzzle Face-Paint

 

You look into the mirror

Trying to find yourself again

Taking the first piece of the puzzle

Putting it on to conceal yourself

It makes you feel beautiful

But it makes you look plastic and fake

 

The second piece is added with care

Over the eyes for a shinny effect

To hypnotize the masses

Into a lustful sinful train of thought

Just by looking at them

They fall prey to that intoxicating view

 

The third piece is placed

Covering up all of the crap you say

With a luscious red smile

And a smell to tickle the senses

All the while tempting the bull

To rush head first into the storm

 

These pieces all form the puzzle

But in the end

You look worse then you started

And you feel weighed down

While underneath you scream

To be let out of your cage

You never really knew

That your beauty has been hiding

Underneath the puzzle face-paint

Smile

 

You say I could do better

But I disagree

I don't want to do better

I don't believe I can

You say you are sorry

But there is no reason to be

It is not your fault

No one can help how they feel

You smile

I love it when you do

You speak as though everything is alright

But I do not believe it

You smile again and turn away

Slowly moving down that road of darkness

Blindly moving forward

Towards that light at the end of the tunnel

I pray that when you reach the end

You find what it was you were looking for

And I hope that what you find makes you happy

Happier then when you were with me

 

You turn back and look at me

And then you smile

And move on down the road
