Doze Off With A Smile Lyrics

When it's my turn to die

Don't weep

For me

The chills run through my spine

The slow creep

Of mortality

And when it comes my time

To fall asleep

For eternity

I'll doze off with a smile

And count sheep

Infinitely

Rest my eyes for a minute

I'm praying this time when I close 'em that the lights will be diminished

Looking in the mirror for forgiveness

The only thing I see is the shell of a soul that's meant to be tormented

This sorrow is my penance

I'm sticking needles in my arms just to make sure that I don't forget it

I probably should've repented

Now I gotta force my way to Heaven

So I'm eating all my spinach

This pain deep inside won't subside on its own

I will carve a smile in my flesh down to the bone

Till there's scars on my face like I am Al Capone

An eternal token of a failure to atone

Used to pray to the Lord to make me OK

Thought I served a higher purpose in the old days

No way, I ain't falling for that slow play

Got my soul on the run like I'm OJ

Doing 90 and I'm sipping on some Jose

Won't give my heart away without a little foreplay

Pass the plate 'cause I'm dipping with the whole thing

You was filling coffers

I was getting full on lo mein

An angel on my shoulder trying to push me with the proper guidance

Don't know why, but lately the Devil's the one that I confide in

Close the blinds and set your spirit free

Blur the lines of who you used to be

Slowly deeper down this path of no return and I've been sliding

I pray, thee, my soul to keep

There's no denying that feels like lying

Close the blinds and set your spirit free

Blur the lines of who you used to be

When it's my turn to die

Don't weep

For me

The chills run through my spine

The slow creep

Of mortality

And when it comes my time

To fall asleep

For eternity

I'll doze off with a smile

And count sheep

Infinitely
