Smile :)

And it seems nowadays everyone wants to be king..

Don't forget who was the one who compromised with you, bitch.

And now there seems to be some sort of a rally ongoing.

What the hell is really going on? I know what's going on,.

It seems insane that detachment seems to recur so many times in this one life..

Why do I have to subject myself to this torment?


prince in practice moans for the attention that he wants
But most of this town won't even dignify his ignorance with a response
Left to a crowded foster home by a 15 year old mom
Never been held in anyone's arms when you've never been moved its really hard to move on
A young saleswoman sets up shop when the sun sets
She'll make your wildest dreams come true at a price you wont forget
The sadly married set up alibis no harm no regret
Hoping they meet an angel in bed that can wrestle the devil right out of their heads
This city runs fast, no one has time to sit with themselves
No time to look into our pain or see its the same as everyone else
It's here, it's there, it's everywhere tears soak each card the dealers dealt
But time taught me how to see every second as heaven even though they're perfectly disguised as hell
And I refuse to let past bruises cover the light
It ain't all good, but its all good enough, so i know im alright
Agony is truth its our connection to the living
I accept it as perfection and keep on existing
in the now..

I can only build if I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown
I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground
I'll still smile
I can only build if I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown
I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground
I'll still smile

...ear to ear as if that's all I'm here for
Despite the wars founded by the rich, funded by the poor
Kids barely 18 are dying so billionaires can make more
Elsewhere hungry mothers watch their babies starve to death in a beat up shack on a dirt floor
The aged professor quotes "Freedom's without a path"
Now he dresses like a widow and preaches "love is dead" in every class
But curiosity killed the cat and taught the dog in him how to act
And it burned his bridge to Jill so he tries to drown the guilt with a bottle of Jack
Self proclaimed rebels say "We must oppose the system!"
"You gotta take a stand!" "If you're not against them you're with them!"
Signs read "Support the troops bring em' home!" "No more innocent victims!"
But when a homeless veteran asks for spare change you're to busy protesting to even listen
And I'm no different I live in conflict and contradiction
But it can be so beautiful when I don't reject what lies within
It's beautiful the way agony connects us to the living
I think of the world when I hurt, and keep on existing
in the now..

I can only build if I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown
I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground
I'll still smile
I can only build if I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown
I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground
I'll still smile

Rest in Peace
