Smile - Eyedea & Abilities[00:00:00]
A prince in practice moans[00:00:15]
For the attention that he wants[00:00:16]
But most of this town won't even dignify[00:00:18]
His ignorance with a response[00:00:20]
Left to a crowded foster home[00:00:22]
By a 15 year old mom[00:00:24]
Never been held in anyone's arms[00:00:26]
When you've never been moved[00:00:27]
It's really hard to move on[00:00:28]
A young saleswoman sets[00:00:30]
Up shop when the sun sets[00:00:31]
She'll make your wildest dreams[00:00:32]
Come true at a price you won't forget[00:00:34]
The sadly married set up alibis[00:00:36]
No harm no regret[00:00:38]
Hoping they meet an angel in bed[00:00:40]
That can wrestle the devil right[00:00:42]
Out of their heads[00:00:43]
This city runs fast [00:00:44]
No one has time to sit with themselves [00:00:45]
No time to look into our pain[00:00:47]
Or see the same despair[00:00:49]
In everyone else[00:00:50]
It's here it's there [00:00:51]
It's everywhere tears soak[00:00:52]
Each card the dealers dealt[00:00:53]
But time taught me[00:00:55]
How to see every second[00:00:55]
As heaven even though[00:00:56]
They're perfectly disguised as hell[00:00:57]
And I refuse to let past bruises[00:00:59]
Cover the light[00:01:01]
It ain't all good [00:01:02]
But it's all good enough [00:01:03]
So I know I'm alright[00:01:04]
Agony is truth it's our connection[00:01:06]
To the living I accept it as perfection[00:01:08]
And keep on existing in the now[00:01:11]
I can only build if I tear the walls down[00:01:14]
Even if it breaks me[00:01:18]
I won't let it make me frown[00:01:19]
I'm falling but no matter[00:01:21]
How hard I hit the ground[00:01:23]
I'll still smile[00:01:27]
I can only build if I tear the walls down[00:01:29]
Even if it breaks me[00:01:32]
I won't let it make me frown[00:01:34]
I'm falling but no matter how hard[00:01:36]
I hit the ground[00:01:38]
I'll still smile[00:01:42]
Ear to ear as if that's all I'm here for[00:01:43]
Despite the wars founded by the rich [00:01:46]
Funded by the poor[00:01:49]
Kids barely 18 are dying[00:01:50]
So billionaires can make more[00:01:51]
Elsewhere hungry mothers watch[00:01:53]
Their babies starve to death[00:01:54]
In a beat up[00:01:56]
Shack on a dirt floor[00:01:56]
The aged professor quotes[00:01:57]
"Freedom's without a path"[00:01:59]
Now he dresses like a widow[00:02:00]
And preaches[00:02:02]
"love is dead" in every class[00:02:03]
But curiosity killed the cat[00:02:04]
And taught[00:02:06]
The dog in him how to act[00:02:07]
And it burned his bridge to Jill[00:02:08]
So he tries to drown the guilt[00:02:09]
With a bottle of Jack[00:02:11]
Self proclaimed rebels say[00:02:11]
"We must oppose the system "[00:02:14]
"You gotta take a stand "[00:02:15]
"If you're not against them[00:02:17]
You're with them "[00:02:18]
Signs read[00:02:19]
"Support the troops bring em' home "[00:02:19]
"No more innocent victims "[00:02:21]
But when a homeless veteran asks[00:02:22]
For spare change you're to[00:02:24]
Busy protesting[00:02:25]
To even listen[00:02:25]
And I'm no different I live in conflict[00:02:27]
And contradiction[00:02:29]
But it can be so beautiful[00:02:30]
When I don't reject what lies within[00:02:32]
It's beautiful the way agony connects[00:02:34]
Us to the living[00:02:36]
I think of the world when I hurt [00:02:37]
And keep on existing in the now[00:02:39]
I can only build if[00:02:42]
I tear the walls down[00:02:44]
Even if it breaks me[00:02:46]
I won't let it make me frown[00:02:47]
I'm falling but no matter how hard[00:02:49]
I hit the ground[00:02:52]
I'll still smile[00:02:55]
I can only build if I tear[00:02:57]
The walls down[00:02:59]
Even if it breaks me I won't let it[00:03:00]
Make me frown[00:03:03]
I'm falling but no matter how hard[00:03:04]
I hit the ground[00:03:06]
I'll still smile[00:03:10]
I can only build if I tear[00:03:26]
The walls down[00:03:28]
Even if it breaks me I won't let it[00:03:30]
Make me frown[00:03:32]
I'm falling but no matter how hard[00:03:33]
I hit the ground[00:03:35]
I'll still smile[00:03:39]
I can only build if I tear[00:03:41]
The walls down[00:03:43]
Even if it breaks me I won't let it[00:03:44]
Make me frown[00:03:47]
I'm falling but no matter how hard[00:03:48]
I hit the ground[00:03:50]
I'll still smile[00:03:54]
