Nothing's As It Seems

There are whispers in the air
That tell the stories of our wildest dreams
But leave us empty in despair
But on our own, so everything is as it seems now
With the dark comes a harsher light
And you can't shake the shadow above
That's following you well into the night
Paint your face on with a smile, say to them don't worry
Carry on just for a while, you'll get lost and hurried
Can you see it now?
That nothing's as it seems somehow

And everything you've ever lost
Must have a reason it is never found
Convince yourself you're better off
And you'll be fine
Or at least that's how it sounds But
With the dark comes a harsher light
And you can't shake the shadow above
That's following you well into the night
Paint your face on with a smile, and say to them don't worry
Carry on just for a while, you get lost and hurried
Can you see it now?
That nothing's as it seems somehow

When you don't know how much is enough
Or will get in the way
And you can only bear your soul
When you think that this is your day
But when it's not and you get shot
You wish for someone else's luck
But you can't do nothing
So you must be doing something
Don't you know what it's like
To disappear from someone else's life so you can

Paint your face on with a smile, say to them don't worry
Carry on just for a while, you'll get lost and hurry
Can you see it now?
Can you see it now?
Can you see it now?

That nothing's as it seems somehow
