Plastered Smile

I'm always far below

The underdog that shows

Hold me together this time

And when I'm broken through

Retreating far from you

Try to remember it's fine

On all the lightest days

I slip beneath the haze

Of tighter bodies than mine

And while my eyes are true

They're always far from new

Don't blame yourself, we'll blame the time

It's always up, up, up

It's always mine

Argue for whatever this time

And so we wash our skin

So clean but not within

Plaster on your smile this time

My fate is up to those

Dictating beauty flows

I'll hide away until the night

And in the darkness pure

Our senses won't be sure

Relying only on the trite

Just sick of all the pain

And Puritan-like shame

That follows me into the light

This doesn't need to be

We could just all break free

Salvation lies beyond the fight

It's always up, up, up

It's always mine

Argue for whatever this time

And so we wash our skin

So clean but not within

Plaster on your smile this time

We're diving into all you say you know

Tied together still alone, darling

Frustrated and I know it's getting old

Jealous of the young and gold toys

Please tell me you agree with what you see

Lies are sweetest when we're not free

I'll say that I'm never affected when

Guilt is shaking up my head

Let me go

It's always up, up, up

It's always mine

Argue for whatever this time

And so we wash our skin

So clean but not within

Plaster on your smile this time

It's always up, up, up

It's always mine

Argue for whatever this time

And so we wash our skin

So clean but not within

Plaster on your smile this time
