Smile for the Knife

[Intro] Clean hands Low light White teeth Good night [Verse 1] I enter slow, let the room make space Polished shoes on a marble face No raised voice, no shattered glass Just a candle bending when I pass White glove, black coat, silver line Everyone laughs at the perfect time I don’t rush, I don’t need to Fear looks better when it chooses you You see the blade I see the shine You see the ending I see design [Hook] Smile for the knife Hold still, look nice This won’t take long If you don’t think twice Smile for the knife Soft mouth, cold eyes I don’t need rage I have good lighting [Verse 2] Mirrored table, velvet chair Your little pulse keeps climbing the air I say your name like I’m tasting wine Let the last word drag on the line One gold ring, one folded note One clean stain on a winter coat You want a monster with a louder tell I keep mine dressed and doing well You hear a threat I hear a cue You call it cruelty I call it true [Hook] Smile for the knife Hold still, look nice This won’t take long If you don’t think twice Smile for the knife Soft mouth, cold eyes I don’t need rage I have good lighting [Bridge] There it is The little slip The hunger at the corner Of my lip There it is The room goes thin I was never hiding I was letting you lean in [Final Hook] Smile for the knife Hold still, look nice See how the silver Keeps you polite Smile for the knife Soft mouth, cold eyes The blade is not the warning The smile is [Outro] Clean hands Low light White teeth [End]
