lyrics

MSTH - Smile

Let your smile be your umbrella, when the wicked rain comes down

And,
every year I stroll down this under-developed path in the grass
and every year I cut through, like I'm smashing the glass
but every tear that I drew taught me something, infact
I look back and see a pathway that's just littered in puddles
Sight the difference between the bitter & the sour
*sniff, a deep breathe, I'm taking time to smell the flowers
start cooking with spices, leaving out the condiments
The love of a woman and the feeling of accomplishment

Virgo, clean, creative and methodical
Organised like the chocolates inside of a box of pot-of-gold
and I've been unstable, like the waters in a kettle
and will be until the day the anxiety in my chest settles
'cause I researched, did the work, formed an opinion
and didn't ever like it from the beginning, but
now I'm overwhelmed with the disappointing news that
the bad guys can win and the good guys lose.

It’s a fresh start, heads finally feeling comfortable on my shoulders
call it maturity, I'm just going to call it getting older
and it's all good. and it's all in good health
I need to stop impressing everybody and start impressing myself
'cause I'm a man, a voice, an opinion, homo-sapien
creatively inclined and proud to be Canadian
held down by a job that held me down for too long
it's a shame when you and your paycheck don't get along

but with no list, there is no selection
and your consciousness has no direction
and you're haunted with the thought of never getting out
well here it is.. a new you
a fresh start and a chance to break through
cause when that ball drops, so does the hammer
it's just us against the world with a smile fit for the camera
this years ours, lets take it and own it
adjust our perception and measure our minutes in moments.
