Smile With Teeth
So now it's come to this
The hanging by a thread somehow
I make my way down
It's not easy to admit
But my hand did twist the doorknob
When demons came ‘round
Like lovers tangled and bound
They lead me on and on

Splinter burn out. Found faith underground
Wither cast out
I know anguish, I do

I've got cinder blocks for ankles
I've blackish carbon where a heart should go

Splinter burn out. Found faith underground
Wither cast out
I know anguish, I do

I'm the crowbar I'm the shovel
Digging myself in I crumble below
Like a pet caught in a chokehold
Well I've been at fault, predestined to hell
Burdened all along, at least I'm honest
And I greet with open arms all that flames reveal
Showing that no one can keep a promise

Choking on the smoke I care to force a smile
You know it's always better if you pretend to look alive
Cuz we're all in on the joke that we're constantly just sinking
Better not look deep inside never let them catch you slipping

Choking on the smoke I care to force a smile
Hatred in disguise Twisting up my mind
Fail to compromise, blind leading the blind
I sink, I sink down
Hatred in disguise
Twisting up my mind

I cannot seem to make an attempt at all
Word lose their meaning, I start to bend and fall
I cannot seem to distinguish right from wrong
My knees have weakened and they're bleeding

It won't let go
I've got a choice but I can't see it
It won't let go
Will I survive if I don't feed it?
