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
