Smile in black A minor

How can you tell if a smile is one of grief?
A playful mask between dimension and dimension
How can you tell when that simple sign
Rips and tears the soul of the wearer?
It's only a matter of time
Before your heart shatters too

Run and catch
Run and catch
Catch the smile before it catches up to you
Put it in a box and keep it safe
Don't show them how you make up your face

Run and catch
Sweeney Todd with his razors
The closest shave you'll ever...
Never
Never mind the flowers
Sunshine and lollipops
And you're dead
Caught in the net
Poverty cries
And what do you do about it?

Raw words
Like apples and grapes
Like the reading of maps
Like the bleeding of wrists
When you paint them red with a razor brush

Run and catch
He's never far behind
With his traps and snares

Run and catch
He'll never catch me
As long as you're there
