Smile for the Photograph

CUSTOM

[Intro] [Instrumental: distant piano, ticking clock, ambient synth] I learned to grin through the collapse And hide inside the hollow cracks They hear the laugh, they hear the 라인 But never see the fault is mine The room applauds, the mask survives While something deeper barely tries [Verse 1] I smile wide while I'm caving in I play strong while the walls grow thin They ask me how I've been tonight I say I'm fine, and dodge the 라이트 I say there's nothing going wrong But every answer feels too long The 클락 keeps dragging nail by nail Across a heart that's bound to fail [Pre-Chorus] And every call for help becomes Another joke upon my tongue I hide the cracks behind the grin While losing wars I cannot win [Chorus] Smile for the 포토그래프 Laugh until the silence cracks Paint on happy every day Even when the soul decays Tick-tock counting down again Tick-tock closer to the end Hold the pose and play the part While the 클락 tears through the heart Smile brighter fade away Smile brighter anyway [Instrumental] [Verse 2] The weight of every choice I've made Falls like stone that never breaks Regret has hands around my throat And pulls me farther from the coast Forgiveness doesn't live out here Not in tomorrow not this year Reality has endless bite And loves to stay through every night No 퓨처 waiting up ahead Just echoes of the things I said [Pre-Chorus] The louder that I'm hurting now The quieter I speak somehow Nobody sees the warning signs They're hidden underneath the smile [Chorus] Smile for the 포토그래프 Laugh until the silence cracks Paint on happy every day Even when the soul decays Tick-tock counting down again Tick-tock closer to the end Hold the pose and play the part While the 클락 tears through the heart Smile brighter fade away Smile brighter anyway [Extended Bridge] [Instrumental: dark synth arpeggio] [Instrumental: distorted vocal chops] [Instrumental: trap percussion building] [Instrumental: ticking clock sample] [Instrumental: atmospheric pads] [Instrumental: half-time beat switch] I wanna scream but nothing comes out I wanna break but I know the route Smile for the crowd Head in the 클라우드 Nobody hears me now [Fast Rap] Tick-tock tick-tock hands on my neck Every regret got me paying a debt Look in the 미러 and who do I get A face that I know but I never quite met Calling for help but I'm hiding the proof Drowning in noise while I'm stuck on the roof Everybody loves the 버전 they see Nobody knows what's becoming of me Reality bites and it never lets go Drag me down deep where the shadows all grow Maybe forgiveness was never for me Maybe the 클락 is all I'll ever be [Instrumental: vocal chop build] [Instrumental: bass swell] [Instrumental: ticking clock crescendo] Everybody loves my smile Everybody loves my smile Everybody loves my smile But nobody stays awhile I wanna scream until my last breath I wanna fight what's already left But every night I surrender again To those hands counting down to the end [Final Chorus - Progression] Smile for the 포토그래프 Laugh until the silence cracks Paint on happy every day Even when the soul decays Tick-tock counting down again Tick-tock closer to the end Every second stealing breath Every shadow dressed as death Everybody loves my smile Everybody loves my smile Nobody sees the damage now Nobody stays around Smile for the world outside While everything inside has died Tick-tock counting down again Nothing waits around the bend Hold the pose and play the part One last smile with a broken heart [Outro] [Instrumental: piano, ticking clock, fading pads] The laughter fades The room goes still The 클락 keeps talking And I don't
