Look at yourself in black and white
Perfect that tragic smile
Let the trigonometry do its work
Yeah, spend some more time.
Let the whole world push you down
Swallow down the bile,
Keep control of yourself
Fuck, don’t forget to smile
Keep the crinkling to the minimum
Don’t show too much of your teeth
Imagine yourself in a crowd of guys
Imagine saying cheese.
Google the most famous men
Keep them all in a file,
Be nice, be good, be holy
Fuck, don’t forget to smile.
The world likes you smiling always
Weather the rough, rough the weather.
Come across as a nice guy
Or you will have hell to pay
Make that smile plastic
Immortalize it for all time
Even if you feel like crying
Fuck, don’t forget to smile.
Take note of the Van’t Hoff factor
Measure the degrees with a protractor
Mark the perfect trajectory
Don’t let this lesson be a blur
Know the ways of the high world
This place is a solitary isle
In a universe this huge,
Fuck, don’t forget to smile…
To err is human, but to repeat is not
A lesson learned should be learned, so to speak
Punish. Punish every wrong deed.
Bite down till you stain yourself red.
Lick off the angry haemoglobin now.
Cut. Cut deep. Let your body atone,
Stain your very ambition with gore.
Just be careful, check the mirror
You need to appear the same as before.
Fiction. A tale of fiction.
A wave of wet long lies.
Never have I, in a life so long
Ever forgotten to smile.
Queries. Queries of why
Why do you smile so damn much, why??
To them, my only reply
Is another of those damn smiles.
My picture came in the paper yesterday
My entire life was evaluated
Friends, colleagues, teachers, the usual
Anyone I ever dated.
But my true self was hidden behind
Bushes and groves of lies
And when everything the world threw
Was treated with a smile.
When I was young, I loved
She was as fresh as morning dew
But even as I gazed at a future
Tensions started to brew.
I was evil, I left her crying
I was left alone for sometime.
Only now I realize, what happened
Fuck, I forgot to smile.
