Lyrics
Faded Smiles
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.
The bottle top falls to the floor
It rolls in tears
But he cries no more
The sullen pills
Stained through his eyes
He moves his arm against the lies
Tips his head
Swallows his dreams
A silence drowns his final screams
He slides down to the naked tiles
To die alone
With her faded smiles
Tips his head
Swallows his dreams
A silence drowns his final screams
He slides down to the naked tiles
To die alone
With her faded smiles
