Smile - Eyedea & Abilities (By the Throat)
A prince in practice moans for the attention that he wants
but most his town wont even dignify his ignorance with a response
left to a crowded foster home by a 15 year old mom
never been held in anyones arms when you've never been moved its really hard to move on
A young saleswoman sets up shop on the sunset
she'll make your wildest dreams come true at a price you wont forget
a sadly married set of alibis no harm no regret
hoping they meet an angel in bed that could wrestle the devil right out of their heads
The city runs fast, no one has time to sit with themselves, time to look into our pain
or see the same despair in everyone else
its here, its there, its everywhere tears soak each card the dealers dealt
time taught me how see every second as heaven even though their perfectly disguised as hell
And I refuse to let past bruises cover the light
it aint all good, but its all good enough, so I know Im alright
agony is truth its our connection to the living I accept it as perfection and keep on existing in the
(chorus)
Now - I can only build if I tear the walls down
even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown
Im falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground
I still smile (x2)
Ear to ear as if thats all Im 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 freedoms without a path
now he dresses like a widow and preaches love is dead in every class
curiosity killed the cat and taught the dog and him how to act
and he 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 your not against em' your with em'
signs read support the troops bring em' home no more innocent victims
but when a homeless veteran asks for spare change your to busy protesting to even listen
And Im 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 wont let it make me frown
im falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground
I still smile (repeat)
