about

first song i ever wrote.

the lyrics are just words that sounded cool together. don't read into it you sonofabitch

lyrics

I'll be alive and thriving
But filed down like knives and driving
Til I see you smiling at the sun

Bring out your dead to me
Sing out your head and see us
We're just seeing if you're smiling at the sun

Blinding rays on better days
Falling kindly slowly he says
Let the joyous smile at the sun

Cause it was nothing that I said that made her go
So there was nothing I could say to bring her back
But now that I've found someone new
I'd crawl down Jackson avenue
If she would stay and tell me she's the one
I'd smile at the sun

Saintly shapes and orange spheres
Foraging for untainted air
Priests and paupers alike all smiling at the sun

Grimy skies for grimy times
Timely scars from timely lies
Fictions just keep me from smiling at the sun

My shoe's untied I lied it's true
It's something getting over you
And now that I have I can't stop myself from smiling at the sun
