Smile (Explicit) - Eyedea/Abilities
A prince in practice moans
For the attention that he wants
But most of this town won't even dignify
His ignorance with a response
Left to a crowded foster home
By a 15 year old mom
Never been held in anyone's arms
When you've never been moved
It's really hard to move on
A young saleswoman sets
Up shop when the sun sets
She'll make your wildest dreams
Come true at a price you won't forget
The sadly married set up alibis
No harm no regret
Hoping they meet an angel in bed
That can wrestle the devil right
Out of their heads
This city runs fast
No one has time to sit with themselves
No time to look into our pain
Or see the same despair
In everyone else
It's here it's there
It's everywhere tears soak
Each card the dealers dealt
But time taught me
How to see every second
As heaven even though
They're perfectly disguised as hell
And I refuse to let past bruises
Cover the light
It ain't all good
But it's all good enough
So I know I'm alright
Agony is truth it's our connection
To the living I accept it as perfection
And keep on existing in the now
I can only build if I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me
I won't let it make me frown
I'm falling but no matter
How hard I hit the ground
I'll still smile
I can only build if I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me
I won't let it make me frown
I'm falling but no matter how hard
I hit the ground
I'll still smile
Ear to ear as if that's all I'm here for
Despite the wars founded by the rich
Funded by the poor
Kids barely 18 are dying
So billionaires can make more
Elsewhere hungry mothers watch
Their babies starve to death
In a beat up
Shack on a dirt floor
The aged professor quotes
"Freedom's without a path"
Now he dresses like a widow
And preaches
"love is dead" in every class
But curiosity killed the cat
And taught
The dog in him how to act
And it burned his bridge to Jill
So he tries to drown the guilt
With a bottle of Jack
Self proclaimed rebels say
"We must oppose the system "
"You gotta take a stand "
"If you're not against them
You're with them "
Signs read
"Support the troops bring em' home "
"No more innocent victims "
But when a homeless veteran asks
For spare change you're to
Busy protesting
To even listen
And I'm no different I live in conflict
And contradiction
But it can be so beautiful
When I don't reject what lies within
It's beautiful the way agony connects
Us to the living
I think of the world when I hurt
And keep on existing in the now
I can only build if
I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me
I won't let it make me frown
I'm falling but no matter how hard
I hit the ground
I'll still smile
I can only build if I tear
The walls down
Even if it breaks me I won't let it
Make me frown
I'm falling but no matter how hard
I hit the ground
I'll still smile
I can only build if I tear
The walls down
Even if it breaks me I won't let it
Make me frown
I'm falling but no matter how hard
I hit the ground
I'll still smile
I can only build if I tear
The walls down
Even if it breaks me I won't let it
Make me frown
I'm falling but no matter how hard
I hit the ground
I'll still smile
