Smiling

Lyrics for Smiling

This is a life of extremes Both sides are slippery and enticing These are my places off the rails And this, my loose recollection of a falling I barely remember who I failed I was just trying to keep it together This is my first wave of my white flag This is the sound of me hitting bottom This my surrender, if that's what you call it In the anatomy of my crash And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still Me, the notorious bottom dweller Me, the ceiling-less brave explorer Lured to the ends of overwhelm This is my first wave of the white flag This is the sound of me hitting bottom This my surrender, if that's what I call it In the anatomy of my crash And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still Such pretty forks in the road On this continuum I've been bouncing Life flashing promise before my eyes This is my first wave of the white flag This is the sound of me hitting bottom This my surrender, if I can bare it In the anatomy of my crash And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still
