lyrics

See the artist’s empty smile
Well it’s been there for a while
You know his wife died in a car
And it nearly broke his heart

He puts a face on every day
Afraid of what the kids might say
It’s time to sing a different song
To feel he belongs

The artist smiles and says hello
‘Cause he’s trying hard to leave it aside
Just to let it go
See the artist say hello
‘Cause he’s trying hard to leave it aside
Just to let it go

Behind his smile-lined disguise
He tries to ease the mind
Self depiction on the page
Cartoon man with cartoon rage

And where the soul can bleed
Beneath thread holding the seams
Can be hard to see
So tread compassionately
