ElysianSoul - The Smile Underneath (Instrumental) lyrics

Artist: ElysianSoul

album: Dark Descent


Oh little girl so far from home
You think that you're no good
Because you don't weigh seven stone
Though others say you should
Your mothers never satisfied
She makes you feel unsure
You watch the way she weighs her food
So this must be the cure
Your father drowns his weight in drink
For reasons so unclear
And hear the way his body aches
And vomits up his fear
Oh little girl so scared and brave
So confused in your skin
You are just too young to crave
The emptiness within
Oh little girl please hear me now
Your father loves you so
He's got a funny way of showing it
But someday you will know
Just how your mother cries for you
And for your frozen face
Please promise me you'll fight for all
Your beauty and your grace

The nights feel even longer with
These voices in your head
Keeping your eyes open
As you starve upon your bed
You live your life in silent dread
And never voice your grief
Destroying piece by piece
The smile that's underneath
Oh little girl you hide away
With your ear against the door
You listen and you blame yourself
When your loved ones are at war
But your parents they pray everyday
And hope you realize
The truth in your reflection and
The loss within your eyes
Oh little girl please hear me now
Your father loves you so
He's got a funny way of showing it
But someday you will know
Just how your mother cries for you
And for your frozen face
Please promise me you'll fight for all
Your beauty and your grace

Oh little girl now skin and bone
A slave to Ana's voice
Lying in the psyche ward
Life has brought you a choice
You'll draw across the curtain
After many years of rest
Beans of light cascading
On the hollows of your chest
Standing there and shown upon
Your sunken face, a smile
You'll grapple at your wrists and ask
"Was it all worthwhile?"

Oh little girl please hear me now
Your father loves you so
He's got a funny way of showing it
But someday you will know
Just how your mother cries for you
And for your frozen face
Please promise me you'll fight for all
Your beauty and your grace

Oh little girl please hear my voice
Over your own torment
I am you cause you were me
Before my dark descent
Life can be so beautiful
When you learn to love again
There's so much more depth to the world
Than dying to be thin
Oh little girl I'm trying to say
That you weren't born to die
You never had to starve yourself
You never had to cry
It won't be now or later
Sometime, you won't know when
You will choose another path
And life will start again
Oh little girl please hear me now
Your father loves you so
He's got a funny way of showing it
But someday you will know
Just how your mother cries for you
And for your frozen face
Please promise me you'll fight for all
Your beauty and your grace
Fight
For your smile
Your smile underneath
Fight
For your smile
Your smile underneath
