Patema - Skull Behind the Smile Lyrics

Breathe
Close your eyes
Take a step into your mind
Look
At your life
Yet again we roll the die
Glass
A feeling frozen in a frame
Turn away
Toward the fiction of the day
Eyes
To the sky
Light casts shadows of our lies
Fists
Grasp last wits
Banking on this life's next twist
Dreams
We were told to seize the day
Stay awake
For all the choices that we make
We bear the weight
When the daylight fades to dawn
And the needle finds groove in the song
We sit and wonder what's to come
Cry
'Til your voice won't make a Sound
'Til the chaos all drowns
Out
Can dust settle when it's swept under the rug?
In time
I know you'll want to run away
From what you've made
And when the tears fracture your face
You'll leave no trace
Of the phantom in the frame
A feeling reflected as pain
Now in this moment hope is gone
Cry
'Til your voice won't make a
Sound
'Til the chaos all drowns
Out
Can dust settle when it's swept under the rug?
Breathe
Clear your eyes
Take the time to step outside and see the whole world has been waiting
In your sleep
You've seen what it means
To be lost for words
While the voiceless speak your name
This might hurt
But for what it's worth
Look down on the maze
Seems you've always known the way
Cry
'Til your voice won't make a
Sound
'Til the chaos all drowns
Out
Can dust settle when it's swept under the rug?
In Death
As in life, we search for
Truth
One path you've split in
Two
Choose the way that shows the skull behind the smile
