SMILE FOR THE KNIFE (Andrea Kayne Remix)

[Verse 1] I like the sound your footsteps make When fear begins to change their pace That tiny tremor in your breath The moment you suspect your death You walk faster — good, you should Your instincts still work like they could But every street you think you know I walked it Long ago. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t run yet Not too soon Predators Enjoy the moon [Chorus] Smile for the knife Just once for me I like to see Your honesty No mask No lies No brave disguise Just terror living In your eyes. [Verse 2] Your phone lights up — you try to call Your hands can barely type at all The screen reflects your shaking face But I’m already In your space. You smell the rain, the metal air That silent pressure standing there Your shadow stretches on the ground But mine Is wrapped around. [Bridge – manic tone] Tick Tick Heartbeat quick Fear is such a lovely trick You pray You beg You start to cry I tilt my head And ask you why. [Breakdown] I waited weeks I watched your door I memorized Your kitchen floor The way you laugh The way you sleep The sounds you make When dreams get deep. [Final Chorus – unhinged] Smile for the knife The night is kind It helps erase What we leave behind One quiet scream Then none at all And by the time They start to call I’m somewhere else Still smiling In the dark.
