Deadlights

Shut your mouth
Carried only by a false pretence and an
Improper sense of right and wrong,
Your collective opinion has never been
Anything more than a hoax (and I know),
This oh-so-familiar act of starting over,
Vexatious ideals and bad blood in your veins!

Of all the things you know, and everything you've seen,
Why is it such a chore to force a smile?
Of all the things you know, and everything you've seen,
Why is it such a chore to force a smile?

Aren't you nervous?
A general lack of humanity isn't that easy to medicate.
Somehow brought back into a state of consciousness;
If we're lucky this reincarnation might only
Suffer a life as long as the last.
Aren't you growing tiresome of being tortured
Into the ought of the sublime?
Destined to die, you won't survive!
Oh, you won't survive!

Of all the things you know, and everything you've seen,
Why is it such a chore to force a smile?
Of all the things you know, and everything you've seen,
Why is it such a chore to force a smile?

You have condemned us all,
Your temperament is weak.
Lethargic and forlorn,
No room for truth in the bullshit that you preach!
You are a crisis in full effect,
Forever taunted by the voice that inhabits your head

Of all the things you know, and everything you've seen,
Why is it such a chore to force a smile?
Of all the things you know, and everything you've seen,
Why is it such a chore to force a smile?
And as I look into your eyes I see
Why it's such a chore for you to force a smile,
Because there's nothing but the deadlights and they won't take me,
That's why you'll always see a smile from me!
