Truth Only Smiles Songtext

von Sweet Billy Pilgrim

Out here amongst the spit and hiss
Of dreams all black and pistol whipped
They crawl towards the morning with a sigh

With easy grace and needy hands
They murdered love's sweet circumstance
And calmly fashioned flawless alibis

Tell me we're leaving all this far behind us
Tell me the lights still flicker when we kiss
No doubts or denials
No truth, only smiles

On his eyes the pennies hide
The bruises of a sleepless night
As light comes crashing in from high above
He tries to speak of pain and loss
But on his lips her finger falls
When putting things in order ain't enough

Tell me we're leaving all this far behind us
Tell me the lights still flicker when we kiss
No doubts or denials
No truth, only smiles

To greet me when I get home
Darkness pricks me
Something's wrong
Please say something
Anything
Take me away
