lyrics

Mastering the mechanics of losing my mind
Making sure that nothing that happens is right
Mixing in some outlandish lies, might take your life
If you think this S M I L E is fake then you right
Every line I write creates more cracks in the ice
Closer to my demise, might just have to close my eyes
Didn’t even realize that my mental health was fried
If you think I’m not F I N E well then you right

I could try to paint the perfect picture but I’d probably ruin it
To top that off I wouldn’t even know why I’m doing it
Losing it, nothing I can do, it’s not like I’m choosing it
You think I’m using this as an excuse, you must be new to this
Seek and you will find? What if I don’t know what I’m looking for?
I’ve looked around corner, behind every door
In every nook and cranny, I even dug up the floor
Can’t ignore this anymore, constant regression got me unsure
I should come with a warning label, approach at your own discretion
Reached a crossroads like I’m at an intersection
Still get t-boned even after double checking
All these years later and I still ain’t learned my lesson

Mastering the mechanics of losing my mind
Making sure that nothing that happens is right
Mixing in some outlandish lies, might take your life
If you think this S M I L E is fake then you right
Every line I write creates more cracks in the ice
Closer to my demise, might just have to close my eyes
Didn’t even realize that my mental health was fried
If you think I’m not F I N E well then you right

Stressing out as I contemplate my next direction
Seems like the only way forward is in a funeral procession
This is my concession stand where my pain and depression are used for your refreshment
At this point I’ll welcome just about any suggestion
But I got a confession, I’ll probably take that suggestion and bury it somewhere deep
And go back and let it all seep out in the words on this sheet
Might overreact and leap at you with the words that I speak
In the times when I’m weak the emotions tend to leak
Out of me, uncontrollably
Noticeably not the same person that I used to be
Prone to be a recluse when it’s got a hold on me
Got me in a mood where it feels like everyone is toning me out
Even when I shout for help it feels like no one’s around
They’re buried to deep for anyone to hear me now
This time what’s lost may never be found

Mastering the mechanics of losing my mind
Making sure that nothing that happens is right
Mixing in some outlandish lies, might take your life
If you think this S M I L E is fake then you right
Every line I write creates more cracks in the ice
Closer to my demise, might just have to close my eyes
Didn’t even realize that my mental health was fried
If you think I’m not F I N E well then you right

I take a giant step forward and fall into the abyss
Loneliness swarms me, anxiety is up to it’s old tricks
Has me convinced I’ll be on my own for all of this
Any sense of clarity has fled now and now I’m hopeless
Lost all my focus, I’m just going through the motions
Oceans of emotions and I can’t keep floating
It’s like a weight’s been tied to me I’m barely hanging on
Ask me what’s wrong, all my love for life is gone
Don’t have long, done faking being good
Withdrawn from the world because I’m misunderstood
If you’ve stood where I’ve stood you’d get it too
But you’d stumble too if you walked a mile in my shoes

Mastering the mechanics of losing my mind
Making sure that nothing that happens is right
Mixing in some outlandish lies, might take your life
If you think this S M I L E is fake then you right
Every line I write creates more cracks in the ice
Closer to my demise, might just have to close my eyes
Didn’t even realize that my mental health was fried
If you think I’m not F I N E well then you right
