Fake Makeup
Drawing on their face with a red marker
Trying to correct all of the mistakes
But trying is just making it harder
Especially with the tears running down their face
The liquid fallng from their eyes
Obscuring the painfully drawn lies
Washing away everything on the surface
Leaving them feeling exposed and nervous
All they wanted was to fit in amongst the crowd
But now all they do is stand out
Their painted smile turns into a frown
Now they just feel like a clown
