Fake a Smile by Sticky Fingers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We are just a generation
Flying through an animation
Frills and pills to satisfy
Our needs towards our destination
We all seem to understand
Why the sun glows gold in our demand
We punch our rhythms, flowing through
The clouds and cream that sit with you
That stay inside your glowing mind
You find yourself complete unwinding
Mellow tricks to get inside
A righteous path of youth designing
Peace within a sounds so blinding
Candy for your ears to find
A way within yourself to let go and free yourself
Close your eyes and be yourself
Run wild with everyone else
And never copy no one else
Just be that dream that was in your head
[Chorus]
Fake a smile, I'm feeling great, you're like my heroin
(I know you like it's pouring rain)
Take a while, I cannot wait while my whole world caves in
(Or like a crappy holiday)
You're my joke without no punchline
I would love to put those lights out, friend, but it's dark in here
(I know it's such a dreadful shame)
I love you, dear
[Verse 2]
I'm sticking with an icepick
Staring down an eardrum
Trying to find what's good in you
But every time I'm deep inside
With all your insides bright and shiny
All I can see is your goo
If I keep on moving too fast for my feet
It's burning a hole in my shoe
No energy 'cause my anxiety
Is running my head through the roof
I feel like I'm dying, my dreams put beside me
My mind running wildly true
It's taking over, but I keep on fighting
This thing that gets me feel blue
[Chorus]
Fake a smile, I'm feeling great, you're like my heroin
(It always starts like this)
Take a while, I cannot wait while my whole world caves in
(And ends up just like that)
You're my joke without no punchline
I would love to put those lights out, friend, but it's dark in here
I love you, dear
We are just a generation

That stay inside your glowing mind
You find yourself complete unwinding
Mellow tricks to get inside

Peace within a sounds so blinding
Candy for your ears to find
A way within yourself to let go and free yourself
Close your eyes and be yourself
Run wild with everyone else
And never copy no one else
Just be that dream that was in your head
