Smiling Not Smiling

[Verse 1]

Out of the city the heavens reflect

A stinging vista of flaming insects

Darkness engulfing islands of light

Scarring the sky and staining the night

[Verse 2]

Under his mess and an idiot prayer

A ticking bomb of bone and thin air

A candle wasting and waxing to nil

Waiting to trigger and blow the big chill

[Outro]

Now I'm inclined only to sleep

Ask me a question the meaning runs deep

Moments are drowning in mantras of rain

Smiling unsmiling there's no need to explain
