Fake Smile

(album: Gone In Your Wake - 2019)

Show your teeth, show your teeth
They can all look but they won't see
You're the only one who knows where to find me

Even when I feel the night going slow, you find a way to get your words to me
And I just try to block it all out cause let it go's all that you say to me
So can you say something stronger now, say what I need?
Could you say that you're sorry now, in the tongue that you keep speaking

But you could find a halo
And it wouldn't change a thing
What the hell do you know?
Let it go is all that you say to me

Show your teeth, show your teeth
They can all look but they won't see
You're the only one who knows where to find me
So just find me alone instead
Count all the days I spend
Breaking the bones I bend
The feeling is real but the smile, the smile is fake

Now your empathy seems reserved for someone else
And though it hurts to say, I miss the way you made me see myself
But I've watched your gaze decay away into an empty stare
And even though you understand me still, it doesn't mean you care

And you could find a halo
And it wouldn't change a thing
What the hell do you know?
Let it go is all that you say to me

Show your teeth, show your teeth
They can all look but they won't see
You're the only one who knows where to find me
So just find me alone instead
Count all the days I spend
Breaking the bones I bend
The feeling is real but the smile, the smile is fake

The smile is faker, the future is bleaker, I'm running out of things to hold onto
Your face in the moment is all that I see and, I hate the way I feel when I'm with you
Cause the world keeps spinning and you keep singing that I should just cover up
And I'm sick of it

Show your teeth, show your teeth
They can all look but they won't see
You're the only one who knows where to find me
So just find me alone instead
Count all the days I spend
Breaking the bones I bend
The feeling is real but the smile, the smile is fake

Find me alone instead
Count all the days I spend
Breaking the bones I bend
