Science Fiction

The Echoing Green

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
