Babylon - Tranquility lyrics

I used to try to seem like I was that happy kid. Now I got homies that's asking me why I'm sad and sh**, never realizing that I was just always acting, since them smiles were a**embled with broken pieces of happiness. Trying to live a life with a blanket over how sad he is, a long sleeve on to hide the cracks within his gla**y wrist So ask me if I give a f**? Yeah, nope is right. Cus' I can't tell if it's the smokey high or an open mind, but I'm talking to the devil on these lonely nights. We all got problems, I verbalize them to cope with it. They say "you got potential, man you just need to to focus it". Back on the bottom, I'm trying to get out of hopelessness. The shadows so familiar, scribbling with a poets pen. Cut deep, but see them angles were precise so I try to hide my horns with a cable & a knife in attempts to convince myself I'm just an angel in disguise That halo is a lie I'm, living life like a blind kid. There's hell on earth so I painted my paradise's with my favorite pen on the insides of my eyelids, I'm just trying to be happy without a flask drawn, but I can't be myself when I'm living life with a mask on..
