Energy Whores – Look At Me And Smile lyrics

There’s a photo of us from so many years ago
With promise of a future to conquer the unknown
Life’s a bitch and she’s laughing at me now
I’m still here somehow

The camera doesn’t lie even though I put on my disguises
I look up and smile thought I really want to cry
You know I really truly want to cry

Men have their nights out and ladies have their lunch
Some friends are imposters who’ll take you out for brunch
And if you’re happy they’ll wish that you were dead
Or them instead

The camera doesn’t lie even though you put on your disguises
You look at me and smile thought you really want to cry
I know you very clearly want to cry

The farmer sows his seed, as the sailor will set sail
And the young have passion for their visions to prevail
But time’s the ruler of everything alive
It begs us to die

This photo doesn’t lie even though we put on our disguises
We look at it and smile thought we really want to cry
You know we very sweetly want to cry

My dearest friend from so many years ago
We promised each other to never feel alone
Time has passed and we have to let them go
Secrets that we know
True friend’s stay when all the rest are gone
All the rest are gone
