can you feel me now?

do I make you proud?

let me see that grin

can you hold it in?

I’m posted up in Berlin nights

got your name stuck in my sight.

Giggles on my lips

but inside I’m far from alright.

You think I’m all sugar

I keep sweet talk on repeat

But behind this grin

there’s a place you’ll never meet.

I wink at my reflection

like it’s some comedic show

Nobody sees behind the curtain

that’s how I like it, though.

watch it go

watch it go

watch it go

watch it go

I wave hello to thoughts I hide,

keep ‘em locked inside.

But you can’t guess a single vibe

my smile’s too amplified.

Empty face

wear it loud, wear it proud,

Empty face

let ‘em know you’re not allowed.

To hide behind fake smiles

drop the mask, don’t hesitate,

Shout it

I’m empty .. I’m great..

Empty face

spotlight on me so I don’t feel that hole,

Tryin’ to spin it so I don’t lose control.

Empty face

I might be clingy but I swear it’s just a phase,

I’ll keep repeatin’

keep repeatin’

Empty Face

I pulled up outside your window

just to wave a friendly hand,

You call me clingy

but I think you don’t understand..

No - No - Noo ..

All these feelings bubbled up

I camouflage with jokes,

If I giggle through the madness

no one sees I’m goin’ broke.

I’m holdin’ it together

with a well-placed smile.

If sarcasm’s my weapon

I can mask it for a while.

No one suspects the hush I keep inside.

I can’t let you see me break

I got too much pride.

Empty face

wear it loud, wear it proud,

Empty face

let ‘em know you’re not allowed.

To hide behind fake smiles

drop the mask, don’t hesitate,

Shout it

I’m empty .. I’m great..

Empty face

spotlight on me so I don’t feel that hole,

Tryin’ to spin it so I don’t lose control.

Empty face

I might be clingy but I swear it’s just a phase,

I’ll keep repeatin’

keep repeatin’

Empty Face

Empty Face, we hear you laugh

Empty Face, we hear you cry

You ask if I’m all good

I say, ‘Duh!?’ with a side of fry

Goin’ full clown mode,

it’s my best routine,

‘Cause nobody loves a meltdown,

so I dress it up in green.

Empty face

wear it loud, wear it proud,

Empty face

let ‘em know you’re not allowed.

To hide behind fake smiles

drop the mask, don’t hesitate,

Shout it

I’m empty .. I’m great..

Empty face

spotlight on me so I don’t feel that hole,

Tryin’ to spin it so I don’t lose control.

Empty face

I might be clingy but I swear it’s just a phase,

I’ll keep repeatin’

keep repeatin’

Empty Face
