Bizarre Smiles in Vain

Unstable in all my ways
Nevermind the other days
When I couldn’t smile a storm
I was trying to keep oh so warm..

Messed up an extra mile
Our love went out of style
Shame embraced me,
Never leaving my presence of once-upon-a-time glee

Tears flow and the sun glows
Tears flow and His son knows
There will be a rainbow after a storm
After I find shelter to keep me warm

Unsmile my tears away, away, away
Unstable in a rather bizarre kind of way
Unbeatable thoughts barreling through my brain
In vain, I cry tears of joyless disdain…disdain…

Frowning in this town of a tension-whelmed terrain
Refrain from driving me insane
If you can, you can be my endless sunshining day…
To wipe away this dismay…pray away the disarray!

I say, pray away the pain
I say, shelter me with rain
I say, unsmile your smile of gain
I say, grow yourself another brain
