Fake Smile Lyrics

Fake smile

I put on a fake smile

Keep pretending I'm okay

And everything is fine

Like my world's not inside out

When the sky's not falling down

Fake smile

I put on a fake smile

On the outside

I'm calm and collected

But on the inside

I'm dying on a drive like I wrecked it

Like I was swerving on a road from misguided direction

Until I hear a nosebleed becomes a sinus infection

Rewind it, your ears are ringing, it's tinnitus, I'm guessing

A traumatic experience got you living life like it's a lesson

What a blessing

Oh wait, it's a gift or a curse

The meaning of life is you don't get shit until you flip the world the bird

And turn around the earth

But I must be dying, buck

Sticking my hands in the air trying to catch a flying fuck

I put on a smile, what

This is how I cope with emotions, erosion in my soul

I can feel it splitting me open, it just keeps tearing me apart

Like the blade in my heart, but this is just a start

Let's see if you can read in the dark, mom, I'm missing some parts

But I think I found the key, just search in the deep

And I swear you will see, my

Fake smile

I put on a fake smile

Keep pretending I'm okay

And everything is fine

Like my world's not inside out

And the sky's not falling down

Fake smile

I put on a fake smile

I'm just hoping I can hold on my pain

Before I find the shovel, dig a hole, and call it my grave

But homie, I'm just missing you and wishing you were on a mission to stay

Until the sickle swang, and away went all your pain

I'm just praying that I have the same fate

As I stare death in the face, and tell him fuck you and have a nice day

I tried to cover up my scars, but couldn't hide the stain

So instead I put on a smile, and pretend I'm okay

Ignore the hate, but I never once envisioned that I had a pot to piss in

But these decisions lead me to a collision

This mental aggression has me wrestling, embezzling

Settle in to the game that I came to play

Left out cause I'm a demon with something to say

Feigning for some luck to come my way

But if a buck can make some change, where's the fuck you say I claimed

When I get in the booth, the truth is Dustin goes away

And I put on his face, with a

Fake smile

I put on a fake smile

Keep pretending I'm okay

And everything is fine

Like my world's not inside out

And the sky's not falling down

Fake smile

I put on a fake smile
