Smiles by Snow Crash

This one is about making decisions.

LYRICS

She looks at you across the top of her glass and smiles

And you think to yourself what harm is there inside?

If I don't talk too much you won't know how it feels

If I don't laugh too loud I'll make believe it's real

While you watch the drops falling off the table you don't hear

Aspersions on your character

You wonder why you came to be insulted

As you are, a pool is growing on the floor

And do you hurt? How do you live?

Do you see you're suffocating me

What do I feel, why can't I breathe?

Now I'm the one to leave

Within your head you know the truth immortalised

A shining path to seeing with tomorrow's eyes

But when she speaks out, suppressing undercurrents

Of the war, it's not worth fighting anymore.

And do you hurt? How do you live?

Do you see you're suffocating me

What do I feel, why can't I breathe?

Will it ever be the same again?

What did I say? What can I do

To prove that it was always you?

The one who taught me to believe

And it's not over yet for me

And do you hurt? How do you live?

Do you see you're suffocating me

What do I feel, why can't I breathe?

Now I'm the one to leave
