Smiling

This is a life of extremes Both sides are slippery and enticing These are my places off the rails This loose recollection of a fallen Barely remember who I felt I was just trying to keep it together This is the first wave of my white flag (ah) This is the sound of me hitting bottom (ah) This, my surrender, if that's what you call it And the anatomy of my crash (ah) And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still Me, the ceilingless great achiever Me the notorious perfect mother Lord to the ends of overwhelm This is the first wave of my white flag (ah) This is the sound of me hitting bottom (ah) This, my surrender, if that's what you call it And the anatomy of my crash (ah) And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still Such pretty forks in the road On this continuum I've been bound to Life flashing promise before my eyes This is the first wave of my white flag (ah) This is the sound of me hitting bottom (ah) This, my surrender, if that's what you call it (ah) And the anatomy of my crash (ah) And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still Can't stand still
