My face the canvas for your vision of me
 Happy smiley face, too weak for life itself,
 Corrupted - superhuman - hypocrite with a halo
 Prisoner and hostage of its own faith

 The vision - distorted, not me at all
 What you hate and fear, projected on me
 Lack of knowledge, lack of mind,
 Fearing I'd wipe the clouds from your eyes

 I struggle, I fight, I fall, I bleed, but my soul is free
 I suffer, I starve, I cry, I die, but my soul is free

 Despair, one of my worst enemies
 Brave enough to admit, my human weakness
 Prison, hostage and their guard I see too
 Anxious to see how they trying to get out

 My scars are telling the story - I am human
 Trying to survive this place - nothing else
 Trying to survive this place - but not alone
 Trying to hold my feet on the ground
 (I am not alone)

 I struggle, I fight, I fall, I bleed, by bloody reality
 I suffer, I starve, I cry, I die, my soul is free

 Smiley face protects me from killing
 Fighting the infinite reasons to hate
 Trying to survive this place, everyday
 Smiling face on the canvas survives
