[Intro] They wanted noise. I gave them teeth. [Verse 1] I was quiet in the corner light, Paper lungs, invisible nights. They spoke over me, drank my air, Said "be louder", said "don’t stare". I learned to laugh with a broken jaw, Smile stitched into something raw. You don’t hear me till I bleed neon, Now you clap like I was born this demon. [Pre-Chorus] You said "be yourself", so I cracked the lock, Pulled out the thing you’re scared to watch. If this is wrong, then why you stay? You love the monster I became. [Chorus] I smile like a weapon, wide and sharp, Cuts my face, lights up the dark. You cheer so loud, you beg for more, But you never loved me before. I smile like a weapon, painted grin, Plastic joy carved in my skin. Don’t ask me who I really am, This is the only face you can stand. [Verse 2] Mirror laughs before I do, Says "don’t blink, they’re watching you". Every joke tastes like a threat, Every kiss smells like regret. You call it fun, you call it free, But freedom shouldn’t choke like this. I don’t know where I end or start, Just teeth where there was once a heart. [Pre-Chorus 2] Take it off? There’s nothing left. Just echoes wearing counterfeit flesh. You wanted loud, you wanted fast, Now hold the smile you asked to last. [Chorus] I smile like a weapon, wide and sharp, Cuts my face, lights up the dark. You cheer so loud, you beg for more, But you never loved me before. I smile like a weapon, stay polite, While something feral eats the night. You don’t want truth, you want the show, So don’t ask me to let it go. [Bridge] If I take it off… Will you still look at me? Or do I disappear the second I stop being funny? (beat drops / repeat) Say it. [Final Chorus] I smile like a weapon, don’t look away, You paid for this face, now watch it decay. You fed the grin, you named the curse, I just made it louder, worse. I smile like a weapon, till it sticks, Till the mask smiles even when I quit. There’s nothing under. Nothing to save. Just the face you taught me to brave. [Outro] You wanted a miracle. You got a mirror.
