Down here, I bite my tongue
I'm in shambles, trapped in cables
Inside, crossing wires
Forced to disable (forced to smile)

Now we're flippin' it, hit the switch, I'm suddenly ignorant
Fell into a deep sleep and held a candle to the black sheep
I would reap the solace of idle quiet
No darkened choir to shout in violent chambers of silent noise
Was I meant to cry all the time?
Believe the lies, I was trying to say goodbye to spite
Taking my soul's obsession, obsoletion bares my jawline
Shake my spine, forced to reap from the void, I'm lost through my own voice
(Down and down we go)

(Smile, smile)
I will smile behind the misery
'Cause I don't want you to know my pain
(Smile, smile)
I've become a fake bravado forged in denial
Smiling through the misery

(Smile, smile) smile, smile
(Smile, smile) smile, smile
(Smile, smile) smile, smile
Smile through the misery
(Smile, smile) smile, smile
(Smile, smile) smile, smile
(Smile, smile) smile, smile
(Smile, smile) smile, smile
(Smile, smile) smile, smile

What to do? 'Cause sinking was thinking different
Far too radical for their magnificence
So belligerent but insignificant
Because the question only brought predicament
So to all of those blind eyes, open your ears
Keep your mouths closed, 'cause I chose to live like a pose
The pose of the reaper beneath ya
I pretend to smile

Through deadpan eyes
Thoughts unspoken cost my inner demons
Mouth wide, caked in cries
For their sake I'm retired
I can't fake it while I'm trying to smile

(Smile, smile)
I will smile behind the misery
'Cause I don't want you to know my pain
(Smile, smile)
I've become a fake bravado forged in denial
I broke the mask and kneeled for a while
(Smile, smile)
I've been smiling to survive the day
'Cause by night I've brought about a new name
(Smile, smile)
I'm the symptom of loss, I'm born to bear injury
Smiling through misery

Teeth batting eyes with a ghost, a ghost of our former selves
The more we suffer, the wider the grin
Save us from sin
Begin taking control
Begin, we're on patrol

(Smile, smile) smile, smile
(Smile, smile) smile, smile
(Smile, smile) smile, smile
Smiling through misery
(Smile, smile) smile, smile
(Smile, smile) smile, smile
(Smile, smile) smile, smile
(Smile, smile) smile, smile
(Smile, smile) smile, smile

From the hole in the ground
We are the systems of dawn holding on
Touched by sunlight, broken by mourning
Buried till morning, smiling without warning

I will smile behind the misery
'Cause by night I've called it off without shame (called off without shame)
I will smile to save my broken
Soul so vile
You don't know I've been dead for a while
