Lyrics

Microsmiling

[Verse]

Wait another day

No harm in being safe

Stains under your skin

They look but don't listen

Shame you feel this way

What if your mind should change

Again a goodnight kiss

Or calculated risk

Keep out of the way

No harm in being safe

Scars and broken teeth

Their little victories

Hide yourself from view

They'll make it hard for you

Refuse to give it space

Death comes in many shapes

[Chorus]

Catch a reflection in the back bar

Mirror and hope

That people keep talking

They get the feeling something's up

Eyes fixed to the clock

The dog won't stop barking

Make their excuses, smile politely

Quietly depart

And silently pardoned

Loved and accepted by the family

Or else they lie

Buried in the garden

[Verse]

Wait another day

No harm in being safe

Stains under your skin

They look but don't listen

Shame you feel this way

What if your mind should change

Again a goodnight kiss

Or calculated risk

Keep out of the way

No harm in being safe

Scars and broken teeth

Their little victories

Hide yourself from view

They'll make it hard for you

Refuse to give it space

Death comes in many shapes

[Chorus]

Catch a reflection in the back bar

Mirror and hope

That people keep talking

They get the feeling something's up

Eyes fixed to the clock

The dog won't stop barking

Make their excuses, smile politely

Quietly depart

And silently pardoned

Loved and accepted by the family

Or else they lie

Buried in the garden

[Instrumental Outro]
