We Looked Happy – Xilence Raps Lyrics

Yeah…

I found a box I should’ve never opened…

But now I don’t even know what’s real anymore…

Scrolling through a life I don’t recognize

Same house, same faces, but different eyes

We all smiling like everything was fine

But I remember nights filled with distant cries

Camera flash couldn’t catch the tension

Fake laughs hiding all the aggression

You see love in the frame, that’s deception

I see pain in thе parts they ain’t mention

Mama smiling, but her еyes look tired

Dad standing there like he ain’t inspired

We posed like a family people admired

But behind closed doors everything expired

I remember yelling through the walls at night

Tried to sleep but the silence felt too loud to fight

Now I’m staring at a picture and it don’t feel right

‘Cause it froze a lie in perfect light

We looked happy… yeah, that’s what it shows

Smiles in the picture, but nobody knows

What it felt like when the door stayed closed

And love went cold, and hearts turned ghosts

We looked happy… but I know the truth

That ain’t the life that I lived as a youth

Just a moment they captured for proof

Of a lie we all played to soothe

I remember being young, feeling outta place

Even in the picture, you can see it in my face

Like I knew deep down this wasn’t safe

But we still stood still for the camera’s sake

Holiday photos, everybody dressed nice

But I remember stress, I remember the fights

Same day smiles, same night cries

That’s the kinda shit that splits a mind

They say memories fade, but these don’t blur

It’s like the pain got a sharper curve

And every photo just distorts what occurred

Like my past tryna rewrite what I heard

But what if I’m the one who twisted the view?

Let my anger paint everything darker than truth

What if love was there, I just couldn’t feel it

And I buried the good every time I would relive it

What if I remember it worse than it was?

Turned every moment into something it’s not

‘Cause pain got a way of corrupting the lens

And I’ve been stuck seeing red ever since

I don’t know what’s real when I look back now

Was it all that broken or just me somehow?

Did I lose the love or just push it out?

Now I’m questioning everything I felt back then

If I showed you both sides…

The smiles and the screams…

Would you know which one’s real…

Or just pieces of me…

We looked happy… yeah, that’s what it shows

Smiles in the picture, but nobody knows

Maybe I blurred what I felt back then

Or maybe the truth just depends on the lens

We looked happy… I don’t know the truth

Somewhere between what I felt and the proof

Just a life that I’m trying to review

Through a mind that’s been breaking in two

Maybe we were broken…

Maybe I was too…

Maybe both can be true…
