Verse 1:
Under the painted smile, there's a heart that's breaking.
Behind the laughter, there's a soul that's aching.
We hide our tears, and we hide our fears.
But the pain inside just won't disappear.

Chorus:
So we put on our masks and pretend we're okay.
We laugh and we joke, but it's all just a play.
Behind the clown mask, there's a silent scream.
I hope that someone will see beyond the gleam.

Verse 2:
We entertain the world with our funny tricks.
But deep down inside, we're all feeling the same mix.
Of sorrow and longing, of joy and despair
We're all just humans, trying to find a way to bear

Chorus:
So we put on our masks and pretend we're okay.
We laugh and we joke, but it's all just a play.
Behind the clown mask, there's a silent scream.
I hope that someone will see beyond the gleam.

Verse 3:
In the spotlight's glare, we dance and we sing.
But the weight of the world is the burden we bring.
Our hearts are heavy, and our minds are weary.
Yet we continue the act, even when it feels dreary.

Chorus:
So we put on our masks and pretend we're okay.
We laugh and we joke, but it's all just a play.
Behind the clown mask, there's a silent scream.
I hope that someone will see beyond the gleam.

Bridge:
We're actors on stage, putting on a show.
But sometimes we wish we could let our true feelings flow.
So when you see a clown, look beyond the facade.
And maybe you'll see the person behind the mask, flawed.

Chorus:
So we put on our masks and pretend we're okay.
We laugh and we joke, but it's all just a play.
Behind the clown mask, there's a silent scream.
I hope that someone will see beyond the gleam.

Verse 4:
In moments of quiet, when the curtains close,
The pain resurfaces, and the vulnerability shows.
We're seeking solace, a touch, and a kind word.
In this masquerade, we long to be heard.

Chorus:
So we put on our masks and pretend we're okay.
We laugh and we joke, but it's all just a play.
Behind the clown mask, there's a silent scream.
I hope that someone will see beyond the gleam.

Outro:
Behind the painted grin, there's a heart that's true.
Behind the clown mask, there's a person just like you.
So let's reach out with empathy and care.
And maybe we'll find the connection we all can share.

Extended Outro:
For every tear concealed, there's a story untold.
Behind every mask is a heart made of gold.
Let's break the barriers and let our true selves shine.
In the tapestry of life, our stories intertwine.
