lyrics

Sing me to sleep
And I promise I will do the same for you my dear
Oh we could share our scars
Like story books we write, I will pen you into this part
You didn't see this coming
But you flew like a shooting star, right above my head
No I didn't see this coming
But I caught you like gravity and pulled down to me

Take a breath, and hold it tight
I will not give this up tonight
Make a wish, I will hold you tight
I will not give you up tonight

I wouldn't call myself lucky
But I caught you, like gold fell in my hands
And I wouldn't call myself sweet
But for you, I'll be your candy, I will rot away your teeth
And I would call you lovely
Like your heart was etched from the finest diamond stone
And I would call you beautiful
Like an angel with the biggest doe eyes

Take a breath, and hold it tight
I will not give this up tonight
Make a wish, I will hold you tight
I will not give you up tonight

And I've had my fair share of nightmares
But with you by my side, I could not care
And every persistent horrid dream I've had
No it does not matter when my reality bests that.

Take a breath, and hold it tight
I will not give this up tonight
Make a wish, I will hold you tight
I will not give you up tonight

Sound of a Smirk New York

A rock band hailing from New York, Sound of a Smirk uses quiet croons, harsh yells and pungent lyrics mixed with smooth rhythm chords to display honest songwriting. Adding the quick-handed, pulsing, and pounding drum beats to the soaring and sometimes cutting leads to the filling and grooving bass, you can feel yourself sink into a sonic landscape coated in whole-hearted vocals. ... more
