Broken Smile

(album: New World Alphabet - 2017)

I got this sensation in my chest
It pulls like vines 'cross my solar plexus
A self-esteem lower than the state of Texas
My courage's shooting blanks at a bulletproof vest
I'm restless

A wave is coming
It's coming
It's, it's coming on
A wave is coming
I turn and run

Broken smile
All I hate I've become
One more hit, then I quit
Yesterday I baked an eighth
You devil clouds, you blow away
Yesterday I prayed and prayed
You devil clouds would blow away

Same old shit, more or less
Getting higher than the peak of Mount Everest
Spinning like the pieces in a game of Tetris
And burning every bridge that can possibly exist
I'm reckless

A wave is coming
It's coming
It's, it's coming on
A wave is coming
I turn and run

Broken smile
All I hate I've become
One more hit, then I quit
Yesterday I baked an eighth
You devil clouds, you blow away
Yesterday I prayed and prayed
You devil clouds would blow away

I got these old issues unaddressed
Deliver me from evil via Federal Express
Rock bottom's up
Happy hour, what a mess
I'm crashing like a tidal wave in cardiac arrest

Broken smile
All I hate I've become
One more hit, then I quit
Yesterday I baked an eighth
You devil clouds, you blow away
Yesterday I prayed and prayed
You devil clouds would blow away

You devil clouds would blow away
You devil clouds would blow away
You devil clouds would blow away
You devil clouds would blow away
