Science Fiction

Did I hear you laugh
 Or was that a scream?
 I don't quite think you're what you seem
 Is there an honest face
 In a hidden place waiting to be seen
 It's just another day
 In your tragic play
 And then I hear you say
 "It's changed"...but there's something strange
 'Cause you're not the same...
 When you smile
 I can see the pain and the sadness makes me cry
 Your eyes
 Are an open door to the fiction in your life
 Is that a happy face
 Or a hiding place?
 'Cause your smile's not so real
 Is there a touch of science to your silence
 When it comes to what you feel?
 It's just another stain
 on your robe of shame
 And now it's just so plain to see
 That you're just like me... emotionally
 When you smile...
 I can see the pain and compassion make me cry
 Your eyes...
 Are an open door to the fiction in your life
 If it's the truth that hurts
 Then see how you're killing me
 So easily... when you smile
 When you smile
 I can see the pain and the sadness makes me cry
 Your eyes
 Are an open door to the fiction in your life
