Behind every smile is a web of lies
Lies that foster a healthy smile
Smiles that make the world go 'round
Round and round these grins do flourish
Flourish and bloom upon each face
Faces that day to day do lie
Lie to maintain their tortured smiles  
Why?....

Because smiling is almost as much socially learned as it is and instinctive reflex. Even babies smile sometimes just to get reactions from adults.

That said, when one wishes to hide things, one's first instinct seem to be to bare their teeth and smile for all they're worth. The wider the smile, the bigger the lie, and those who laugh the loudest are ones with the least reason to do so.

....Just a thought really

...also RHYTHM
