Maskless Tears

I paint my face with glitter

I wear my perfect smile

But underneath the shimmer

It's lonely all the while

They cheer and call my name

But they don't see inside

Popularity's a game

And I've got nowhere to

hide.

Popularity is a lie A shiny crown that's bound to fade The

spotlight burns the brightest But it's just a masquerade

We laugh and wave and sparkle But it's all a grand charade

Popularity is a lie

And we're all just afraid

You sit there in your books

Your head down low in shame

But sister Don't you know

You're winning at the game

Your world is full of wonder

Your mind's a secret door

While mine is just a prison

I'm longing for much more

Take off the mask Let's see what's real This game we play

It doesn't heal You're more than what

they say you are

A burning light A hidden star

Popularity is a lie A shiny crown that's bound to fade The

spotlight burns the brightest But it's just a masquerade

We laugh and wave and sparkle But it's all a grand charade

Popularity is a lie

And we're all just afraid

So here we stand together

No pretense No disguise

Two sisters side by side

With truth behind our eyes

Let’s break the chains of mirrors

The weight of what they see

Popularity’s a lie

But we’re finally free
