Knife Beneath My Smile lyrics

I learned to smile through my anger To say thank you while bleeding inside That's how I was raised To swallow what I feel Beneath every veneer Lives a beast that no one wanted I have a knife beneath my smile Saved for when I explode Every year I swallowed my fury One day it'll come out Every compliment is a mask Every “I'm fine” is a lie I was trained to please While inside I was losing my mind Beneath every veneer Lives a beast that no one wanted I have a knife beneath my smile Saved for when I explode Every year I swallowed my rage One day it'll come out Don't shut me up Or I'll use my hands to exist I have a knife beneath my smile Saved for when I explode Every year I swallowed my rage One day it'll come out
