Fixed Smile

I read the news the way I read the weather Note it, set it down Something's always under attack Should matter, I know, I know Used to feel it all in my chest Now it lands flat The shape of caring's still there Just nothing fills it anymore What I cannot change Keeps getting larger What I can change Gets harder to find Still wearing the same face Smile fixed in place The candle's still lit Just doesn't throw much light Still wearing the same face Smile fixed in place I look like someone Who cares There was a time the returns came in And I believed the number Something was moving, I could feel it For once it felt like forward Woke up the morning after Still the same world Kept waiting for the new one But the old kept rolling on What I cannot change Keeps getting larger What I can change Gets harder to find Still wearing the same face Smile fixed in place The candle's still lit Just doesn't throw much light Still wearing the same face Smile fixed in place I look like someone Who cares I know what I traded The caring for the not-hurting It was a fair deal No doubt, I'd make it again Looked the same from outside In here it got quiet Still wearing the same face Smile fixed in place The candle's still lit Just doesn't throw much light Still wearing the same face Smile fixed in place I look like someone Who cares Still wearing the same face Smile fixed in place Still wearing the same face Smile fixed Still
