Smiling Faces

Cut to
The tribulations
Boiling over on the stove
Trudging through
The saline sludge
Dripping on the rotten floor
Oh oh

It's getting hazy at the back of the line
And smiling faces have been known to lie

Oh
Get back
To the stack
Of the papers that you've earned
Relapse
Collapse into
All the lessons that you never learned
Oh oh

It's getting hazy at the back of the line
And smiling faces have been known to lie

We've been stung just one too
One too many times
And you know, just know you're told
There's always trouble dead ahead
We did what Simon Said

But I'm still down
And I'm still low

Ha, tricked you
That's what we do
We never stay down for long
In lieu
Of the phases
There's a race that can't be won
No oh

It's getting hazy at the back of the line
And smiling faces have been known to lie

We've been stung just one too
One too many times
And you know, just know you're told
There's always better times ahead
We're more alive than dead

But I'm still down
And I'm still low
I'm still down
And I'm still low

Take three
What can these do for me?
I've never been someone...
No oh
Who ever needed any crutch
Or help from anyone
No oh

They think I'm crazy at the back of the line
But smiling faces have been known to lie

We've been stung just one too
One too many times
And you know, just know you're told
The traffic moves right after red
There's a life outside your bed
And it's all inside your head

But I'm still down
And I'm still low
Yes, I'm still down
And I'm still low
