Idiot Grin

we shared a kneejerk smile
a careless smile accident smile
and now i wear a helpless smile
a ceaseless smile a painted smile

i’m left with
no volition
an absurd expression and no volition
an idiot grin

i wish that i could stop
wish that i could peel it off
but every time i see your face
i feel it snap back into place

i’m left with
no volition
an absurd expression and no volition
an idiot grin

we shared a kneejerk smile
now i’m forced to pay the price
do i hold my breath and take a step
or hold on ‘til there’s nothing left?

no volition
an absurd expression and no volition

an idiot grin…
