Clarity Lyrics by Defeat the Low

A Nervous Smile

2014

[Verse 1]
It makes a lot more sense to be slapped in the face
With the truth than to die from a lie
It makes a lot more sense to ask questions
Open your mouth and be fed
Than to keep it closed and just starve to death
[Chorus]
All these dreams come rushing back to play
When the sickness dissipates
Endless nights of sweat and cold
Illusions take the stage
Put it off, is it really me conjuring these things?
I may never understand the things I see
After I've fallen asleep, after I've fallen asleep
Oh, I may never understand, I may never understand
[Verse 2]
Cause this is something I want, this is something I need
To extinguish a fire that I will no longer feed
Cause I have burned in the fire, yes I have burned in that fire
Just to prove that I am a man
All to no avail, in the ashes I stand
All to no avail, cause in the ashes I stand
[Chorus]
All these dreams come rushing back to play
When the sickness dissipates
Endless nights of sweat and cold
Illusions take the stage
Put it off, is it really me conjuring these things?
I may never understand the things I see
After I've fallen asleep, after I've fallen asleep
Oh, I may never understand, I may never understand
[Outro]
I may never understand, oh, I may never understand
I may never understand
I may never understand all these things that I see
After I've fallen asleep, after I've fallen asleep
Oh, I may never understand, I may never understand
