Split Smile

[Verse 1] Coffee stain on my cuff Bus doors sigh, then shut Blue badge, bad news, good luck I smile through the rush... Phone screen, rent reminder Timecard, broken spine I nod like I’m fine... Yeah, I nod like I’m fine... [Pre-Chorus] I count to ten Then count again Hold my face in place... Under the weight... [Chorus] Keep smiling, keep smiling I’m alright (alright), I’m alright Keep smiling, keep smiling Till the room splits wide... (one more hour) (one more day) [Verse 2] Elevator mirror Two faces in the glass One says, “Take it easy” One says, “Let it crash” Lunch break, spoon in hand Laughter from the hall I hear my good name Like it’s worthless to y'all [Pre-Chorus] I count to ten Then lose the thread Same old shoes... New old head... [Chorus] Keep smiling, keep smiling I’m alright (alright), I’m alright Keep smiling, keep smiling Till my life splits wide (one more hour) (one more day) [Bridge] In the bathroom mirror Somebody knows my voice They tap on the tile Say "I had no choice" Another name... Then a grin... I lock the door... and let them in! [Chorus] Keep smiling, keep smiling I’m alright (alright), I’m alright Keep smiling, keep smiling Till my mind splits wide (no more hours) (no more days) [Outro] Coffee stain on my cuff Bus doors sigh, then shut New friend, changed view, good luck I grin through the rush...
