Lyrics for Behind the Smile

Sands of time Running through my fingers My life is slipping away And I feel nothing Swallow the tears Eat the pain It's worth the degradation Eat the pain Behind the smile I feel nothing I reach out to touch But I'm not really there This reflection in the mirror Can it really be me? I see no connection with who I wanted to be Drink another glass Swallow these pills At the end of the rainbow You take the bitter The bitter with the sweet Behind the smile I feel nothing I reach out to touch But I'm not really there When love dies The angels cry Here I am Alone Alone in a crowd Behind the smile I feel nothing I reach out to touch But I'm not really there Behind the smile I feel nothing I reach out to touch But I'm not really there
