Behind the scenes.

 Free of dirt. Everything looks very clean. 
Eat dishes from the royal kitchen but still overfeed on poisonous beans. 
Many faces and colour blind, see red and call it green. 
Come out and laugh but go back and cry the heart out behind the scenes. 

Patiently waiting for happiness but angrily wasting time. 
Want to buy pain out of life but not ready to pay a dime. 
Try to keep the head up, does it mean to normalise crime? 
Stay even with the obstacles but ready to end up as the prime. 

Alone in the cell, what does the mirror say? 
Rewind life for a moment, what does the record play? 
In the fields hoping for a rainy day. 
Beautiful sunshine but inner darkness preventing you from making hay. 

Behind the scenes, the truth hits you harder. 
Behind the scenes you stop bragging about your achievements and see yourself as a loser. 
Behind the scenes you complain bitterly and become an accuser.
 Behind the scenes you prey on life and become an abuser.
