about

Force A Smile has been released before, but the EP version is remixed and mastered.

lyrics

My friend gave me
a hat that he had knit
And I bought these pants
but they don't really fit
But I'm not these clothes
I'm the soul that's under it
Just like snail

I'm all tied up
I'm biting at the knots
I'll jump the fence
And I won't get caught
I'll throw the blanket
just like I was taught
over the razor wire

I don't need a plan
I'm gonna live life
laughing when I can
I won't force a smile
I'm gonna live it
like I was a child

Do what I want

When you look back
at the things you haven't said
now we're all grown up
and soon we'll all be dead
So why don't you pack
a change of clothes instead
of sitting down

When I go out
I put on both my shoes
Cause it's up to me
to terminate the blues
But I look straight up
and all I see is you
like rain coming down

Now that I set
an alarm for when I sleep
And I'll dream my dreams
and some of them I'll keep
But for now I'll think
And later I will speak
When I'm done climbing trees
