04. Smile



01. Slowing down

Life just seems to linger by
Each day no different than the next
All lost in the daily grind
In the maze we built around ourselves

These days I don't go out that much
And the phone barely even rings
Too busy getting by
Overwhelmed by everything

Ain't it funny how we grow with paths in mind
And then the paths themselves take up all our time
I always thought we'd stay the same, only more mature, more sound
But now all our lives are just slowing down

Hey friend , please take me out tonight
Wrap me up in make believe and beer
And just for a little while
We can celebrate everything that we hold dear



02. Bad luck

As soon as life knocks you down
You get up, then back down again

As soon as life knocks you down
You get up, then back down again

Army of black cats marching down my street tonight
I'm too afraid to even step outside
As soon as life knocks you down
You get up, then back down again

Shot by shot it hits straight in the gut
And I'm out of breath
Shot by shot it hits straight in the gut
And I'm down again

A hall of mirrors crashes down when I come near
Seven hundred seven years of misfortune
Shot by shot it hits straight in the gut
And I'm out of breath

It's hard to find your way
When you're looking up from the floor
But I will get back up
And fall again

As soon as life knocks you down
You get up, then back down again

As soon as life knocks you down
You get up, then back down again



03. Bad taste o’ time

Hey there hello, nobody heard you've walked in
Deep down below, you have built your home
And soon enough you've spread your sons and daughters

Between the blessing and the curse you draw a line
Injecting deadly cures, trying to endure
And getting used to

Deep dive below into the troubled water
Good times got old there is no bridge to cross

Between the blessing and the curse you draw a line
Injecting deadly cures trying to endure
And getting used to

Bad taste of time….



04. Smile

I'd lie to see that smile for a while
Please don't say it's over (over)
We piled a sea within the memories
But you could dry an ocean (ocean)

Can you be touched
Can I give enough

Miles away from everything that you need
I tried to fill your motion (motion)
Smile away and I'll keep dusting your broom
Till you say it's over (over)

Can you be touched
Can I give enough

Smile, keep my world alive
