Smiling lyrics

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.
