Lyrics
Smile With Me
Smile with me watch them run
Laugh with me know that we have won
Tell me what they made you give them
Your untouchable soul
At the age that purity smiles
They’re gonna teach you how to grow
Held by the spite and the hate they breathe
Gonna rip you till the innocence bleeds
Sick words... sick eyes... feel me
Suffocation drips from the walls
Feel your protection falling...
Through the footsteps...
Their shadows fill the room
Where is love when they make love dead?
Find me
Smile with me watch them run
Laugh with me know that we have won
How does it feel to destroy a child?
Dominate it with your tortured minds?
Watching those round eyes close in confusion
And her own mother lays her down
Strokes her daughter’s hair
Stares curiously as her child’s
Soft features slowly begin to change shape
Reflecting expressions like a mirror... like a memory
And Daddy comes closer
Comes closer...
And Daddy comes...
Tell me what they made you give them
Your untouchable soul
At the age that purity smiles
I’m gonna teach you how to grow
Break from the spite and the hate they breathe
Gonna get you to the love that you need
Push... cry... for me
Smile with me watch them run
Laugh with me know that we have won
