Permanent Smile Lyrics - Smog

Oh god, can you feel the sun in your back? 

Oh god, can you see your shadow, inky black on the sand? 

Oh god, can you hear the saltwater drying on your skin? 

Oh god, can you feel my heart beating in my tongue? 

Oh god, by being quiet, I hope to alleviate my death 

Oh god, by sitting still, I hope to lighten your load 

When your shadow covers me from head to toe 

Curtain every flies, tell me it's mine, my time to go 

Seven waves of insects make babies in, in my skin 

Seven waves of insects make families in my skin 

(it's just like animals) it's just like animals that play 

And the flesh...flesh...flesh...rotted off my skull 

And then I will have earned my permanent, my permanent smile 

Oh god, I never, never asked why 

Oh god, I never, never asked why
