The Price of a Smile


What is the price of a smile.
If tears are all that you have to give.
Where is all the love when it only costs you a broken heart & tears.
Are you searching for the future, when your truly out of time.
What if tomorrow only holds emptiness.
Is that what you were truly searching to find?
Cascading memories, and faded paint peeling off the front door of a glass house of cards.

Does true love hold all the answers, or is your soul mate always a day away.
What is a man but a man.
What is life but a dream.
The realization of a true fantasy.
Coming apart at the seams.

So we wake up too the memory.
Of this institution called life.
Still turning the pages of destiny trying to find conclusions within the shadows of ourselves.
A mural of daisies painted on a desert floor of heartache.
The Crucifixion of emotions in the mist of a tear.

Does true love hold all the answers, or is your soul mate always a day away.
What is a man but a man.
What is life but a dream.
The realization of a true fantasy.
Coming apart at the seams.

A repository of disillusional thoughts.
Replaying themselves throughout the matrix of the mind.
Searching for a final conclusion, when you're finally out of time.
A white wedding of expectations... ok so the dress was a lie.
Always running from ourselves only to end of with ourselves.
Constantly searching for the answers, but never understanding the questions truly asked.
