The Smile Lyrics

The writer had it all wrong when he wrote of love and war
Inherently lovely. Consistently struggling
And while the battle is silent, you know its not over
Wage war on your bloodstream, and hollows your victory
So Id hardly call this fair

I dont know the cure
But a smiles all Ive got
So lets give that a shot
And if a smile could extinguish hell
Bid demons farewell
Then Ill wear it loud and Ill wear it proud
And Ill never frown again

The sword only wounds skin and pens write prescriptions
Prescriptions that pour salt in the wounds they slowly halt
So my dear Damocles, if you can hear me
Sometimes the thin threads made from the strongest weave
So keep your faith alive

I dont know the cure
But a smiles all Ive got
So lets give that a shot
And if a smile could extinguish hell
Bid demons farewell
Then Ill wear it loud and Ill wear it proud
And Ill never frown again

They fixed you up good as new
With a brand new halo and matching white wings too
But golden gates are redundant
Cause through it all it was always apparent

That you were always an angel
This just made it official
You were always an angel
This just made it official

And I, I dont know the cure
But a smiles all Ive got
So lets give that a shot
And if a smile could extinguish hell
Bid demons farewell
Then Ill wear it loud and Ill wear it proud
And Ill never frown again
