Lyrics
Fake a Smile
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We are just a generation flying through an animation
Frills and pills to satisfy our need towards our destination
We all seem to understand why the sun glows gold in our demand
We punch our rhythms flowing through the clouds and cream that sit with you
That stay inside your glowing mind you find yourself complete unwinding
Mellow tricks get inside a righteous path of youth designing
Peace within a sounds so blinding candy for your ears to find
A way within yourself to let go and free yourself close your eyes and be yourself run wild with everyone else
And never copy no one else just be that dream that was in your head
Fake a smile I'm feeling great you're like my heroin
(I know you like it's pouring rain)
Take a while I can not wait while my whole world caves in
(Or like a crappy holiday)
You're my joke without no punchline and I would love to put those lights out friend but it's dark in here
(I know it's such a dreadful shame)
I love you dear
I'm sticking with an icepick staring down an eardrum trying to find what's good in you
But everytime I'm deep inside with all your insides bright and shiny all I can see is your goo
If I keep on moving too fast for my feet it's burning a hole in my shoe
No energy cause my anxiety is running my head through the roof
I feel like I'm dying my dreams put beside me my mind running wildly true
It's taking over but I keep on fighting this thing that gets me for you
Fake a smile I'm feeling great you're like my heroin
(It is always does like this)
Take a while I can not wait while my whole world caves in
(It is, I'm just like that)
You're my joke without no punchline and I would love to put those lights out friend but it's dark in here
I love you dear
