Smile Lines

I'll be your friend And I'll stay to the end And I'll play just to lose All while in love with you Hold you close when it's cold Want to take off your clothes And I'll tell myself I deserve it But as I'm falling asleep, I will wait in the dark Being still as a snake and hungry as a shark My brain tying knots and connecting the dots Of how everything I say is a lie You said "I've seen you quiet and red when you blush And the skin under nails from the shoulders you crush And your typewriter heart Narrating all of the parts that you tell yourself is the truth" I said, "Cut me some slack You know I can change back I am like Jekyll and Hyde I am trying to find Just a balance of sorts so that when I distort I can cut off the parts I don't like" I'm not sure what we're fighting for I see your smile lines when you're deadpan I fall at your feet I've got this feeling you're in mourning You're sick of me Try to take it back There's nothing you can say to fix it now You are my light I need you tonight Lend me the caution that you give to your friends Oh the buckets and spades The means to the ends Do you save it for me So I can brutally see All the tricks that you learnt as a kid? Cut me some slack you know I can change back I am like Jekyll and Hyde, trying to find Just a balance of sorts so that when I distort I can cut off the parts I don't like I'm not sure what we're fighting for I see your smile lines when you're deadpan I fall at your feet I've got this feeling you're in mourning You're sick of me Try to take it back There's nothing you can say to fix it now You are my light I need you tonight I don't believe anyone that doesn't sound like something That I'd say to anyone You've gotta help me I don't believe anyone that doesn't sound like something That I'd say to anyone You've gotta help me I see your smile lines when you're deadpan I fall at your feet I've got this feeling you're in mourning You're sick of me Try to take it back There's nothing you can say to fix it now You are my light I need you tonight I don't believe anyone that doesn't sound like something That I'd say to anyone You've gotta help me I don't believe anyone that doesn't sound like something That I'd say to anyone You've gotta help me You are my light I need you tonight
