When your life is in the dumps, just forget about it
When you see me on the news, simply ignore it
While the roses are blooming, don't just walk way
Today is a brand new feeling, and a brand new day
But when troubles seem like thunder and no shine
Just simply smile and everything will be just fine
Since you're too lovely to be sad, don't you know...
When you're weeping over my ashes, think of a happy tune
You're not the reason for all this, don't sit in sadness and gloom
It's not your fault anymore, why can't you see this?
Just stand up, brush the dust off, live in sudden bliss
Out of everyone in the world, you're the one I'm going to miss
And when there is lacerations on my arms, caused by self harm
Just smile away, and think it's just my lovely charm
Because there's nothing better to do than just stay at home and starve
But for today, with the rain and such...
I'd rather just take my arm and simply carve...
"And people talk about love, and they're painting pictures of...
Someone's pretty side, I look myself in the face, and watch the worlds collide...
And watch the world's collide
Watch the world's collide" - Elliott Smith.
