Smile Lines

(アルバム： St. Leonards - 2018)

I'll be your friend and I'll stay 'til the end
And I'll play just to lose all while in love with you
Hold you close when it's cold
Want to take off your clothes
And I'll tell myself I deserve it

But as I'm falling asleep, I will wait in the dark
Being still as a snake and hungry as a shark
My brain tying knots and connecting the dots
Of how everything I say is a lie

She said "I've seen you quiet and red when you blush
And the skin under nails from the shoulders you crush
And your typewriter heart narrating all of the parts
That you tell yourself is the truth"

I said, "Cut me some slack, you know I can change back
I am Jekyll and Hyde, I am trying to find
Just a balance of sorts so that when I distort
I can cut off the parts I don't like"

I'm not sure what we're fighting for

I see your smile lines when you're deadpan
I fall at your feet
I've got this feeling you're in mourning
You're sick of me
Try to take it back
There's nothing you can say to fix it now
You are my light
I need you tonight

Lend me the caution that you give to your friends
Oh the buckets and spades, the means to the ends
Do you save it for me so I can brutally see
All the tricks that you learnt as a kid?

Cut me some slack you know I can change back
I am Jekyll and Hyde, trying to find
Just a balance of sorts so that when I distort
I can cut off the parts I don't like

I'm not sure what we're fighting for

I see your smile lines when you're deadpan
I fall at your feet
I've got this feeling you're in mourning
You're sick of me
Try to take it back
There's nothing you can say to fix it now
You are my light
I need you tonight

I don't believe anyone that doesn't sound like something
That I'd say to anyone. You gotta help me
I don't believe anyone that doesn't sound like something
That I'd say to anyone. You gotta help me

I see your smile lines when you're deadpan
I fall at your feet
I got this feeling you're in mourning
You're sick of me
Try to take it back
There's nothing you can say to fix it now
You are my light
I need you tonight

I don't believe anyone that doesn't sound like something
That I'd say to anyone. You gotta help me
I don't believe anyone You gotta help me

You are my light
I need you tonight
