Smiles Manhattan

Formerly a strictly solo project, SM is now evolving into a full four-man band, Silo. Most of the stuff on here is basic and rough, but likely to emerge into more elaborate complete songs with Silo. They are like musical zygotes.

Lyrics

I don't mind 
if you beat me on the head a few times.  
I won't make movents or sounds.  
I won't tell another white lie.  
I will stay docile and smile 
if you use the tire iron.  
For my mistakes, 
I can either cry or poke my eyes out, 
or leave the gas on as I pass out.  
But I don't hate you.
You said all along
I should learn to find the bright side 
of everything.
Try to ignore all the things that make me uptight.
I should see sunshine and smiles and
beauty in a flower, rainbows, pretty things.
Until memories leave the skin raw
and the search for reason cuts my head off.
But I don't hate you.

Every time I get excited, I get bloody knuckles
instead of the things I want,
but I don't mean to keep on beating knuckles
against this wall.
