Fractured Smiles
Fractured smiles on porcelain faces
 Solidly empty, miniscule spaces
 Between words that define the mind
 Between not seeing and being blind
 Fight the fight that makes you stronger
 Live a little, then live longer
 Try to laugh while your lungs can take it
 Give away your heart so he can break it
 Run to somewhere you've never been before
 Love a little, then a whole lot more
 In case you fall, take your wings
 And don't forget to detach your strings
 Your puppet master isn't here
 So there's no need to shed a tear
 Let a thousand fall from your glass eyes
 And in the midst of one more sunrise
 Appreciate what you'll never get
 Don't worry, the world's not ending yet.
