Dakota Cook - insomnia

Smiling Wide

Blue memories trickle down my cheeks
Without a kind hand to intervene
Now my face is flushed, blame it all on the summer sun, yeah

Violent monsoons barrel through my mind
And I can't stomach that they might find
That I'm not as strong as what everybody else thinks

So I'll dry the rain with a shirtsleeve
And wipe away my grief
Sniffle and clench my teeth
And make my way to the nearest sink
Check the mirror and make sure I'm all clean
March on out, let's start the scene

Now I'm smiling wide
Despite what lies behind
Showing off my pearly whites
Showing off my pearly whites

Now I'm smiling wide
Despite what lies behind
Showing off my pearly whites

Such a cannibalistic way to be
Gnawing away at my own psyche
Clean the blood with a velvet rag
And shove it down to the bottom of the trash

Return to the masses and tell a joke
And let their laughs dissolve the lump in your throat
It feels like comedy is the only way to cope

Now I'm smiling wide
Despite what lies behind
Showing off my pearly whites
Showing off my pearly whites

Now I'm smiling wide
Despite what lies behind
Showing off my pearly whites
Showing off my pearly whites
Showing off my pearly whites
Showing off my pearly whites
