Perils of assimilation

If only life came with subtitles.

People don't get it.

When one is depressed, everyone tells you to smile. But what they don't get is that smiling makes it worse, it masks what you feel and you feel more awful lying to yourself.

How to fight loneliness?
Smile all the time

Shine you teeth 'til meaningless
And sharpen them with lies

And whatever's going down
Will follow you around
That's how you fight loneliness

You laugh at every joke

Drag your blanket blindly
And fill your heart with smoke

And the first thing that you want
Will be the last thing you ever need
That's how you fight it

Just smile all the time
