lyrics

SMILE

This smile, that smile
Which is the one?
Real smile, cracked smile
coming undone
A breaking grin
from within
isn't enough
can't hold up
smile never sung
Obligated and coralled
to buy smiles that don't fit
they don't sit.. right
Which smile is this?
Which smile is this?
Crack a smile
even if it's fake
Crack a smile
even if it break
Plastic exterior
Fake styles Fake smiles
your shit is lame
like corporate music
pushed on us
its all the same
Hollow on the inside
Shallow on the downside
Empty.
Which smile is this?
We had plenty
fake happiness
disillusioned contentment
Lie to me, i'll believe
Lie to ourselves, never see
Reflection in the mirror
never coming clear
Disillusioned contentment
in a world of fear
Which smile is this?

This smile ,That smile
Which is the one?
Real smile, cracked smile
coming undone
A breaking grin
from within
isn't enough
can't hold up
smile never sung
We stand next to reality everyday
never make eye contact
just look away
Until you wanna buy back
the dreams that you sold
just look away
and dream about gold
These produced smiles
are buried with profit and waste
strangled with products
never intended to work or function
strickly for consumption
If i was a better consumer
would it make my smile
more real and inspired
Instead of empty anxiety
taking pills to see
Which smile is this?
the smile looks so sweet
but stabs in the side
it's cold on the inside
Which smile is this?
Fake happiness
leading to resentment
a smile with a twist
disillusioned contentment
Which smile is this?
