Oscar Jerome – Smile On A Screen lyrics

(feat. James Massiah)

[Intro]
We're living in a world of sin
Where a holy man
Can kick your shins
And raid your bin
And our obsessions float above the skin
And you soul
And my soul
Are paper thin
A man, angel, and a choir play
She said baby face him
You ain't got time to waste
And I say girl
You can't know what I'm feeling
Cause you never grow old
In a life without meaning

[Chorus]
Its just a smile on a screen
But do you know what I mean
Because you can't buy dream
Don't let me rip these seams

[Verse 1]
Oh let me rip these seams
I've got far more going on than dreams and magic themes
A public offering to put me in a bubble
It looks like trouble
Especially after a visit from (?)
Sometimes they tell me to see clearer
But there's no difference between the photo and a painted picture
So you're painting up a photo in the eyes of the so-called leaders
The true deceivers, I can't believe you
When you know I'm soul searching
Cause if you're one of those guys that refuses to go insane
Dont (?)
And I (?) and I drink and I (?) after your name

[Chorus]
Its just a smile on a screen
But do you know what I mean
Because you can't buy dream
Don't let me rip these seams

[Verse 2]
Though it might seem obscene
I want to keep it clean, know what I mean
Cause the cracked stone nation has lost all patience
This is blatant, its all so plain to see
Your problems are so arbitrary
These shape these signs, they have eyes
Yet they're so appealing
And they want you to
Go die with your heart on the sole of your shoe
Is it true
Where were you but there's a few
Wait now but you can't look back
Curiosity has got to kill the cat yeah
And that is that

[Chorus]
Its just a smile on a screen
But do you know what I mean
Because you can't buy dream
Don't let me rip these seams

[Verse 3]
Its never (?), obsessive
Science and tech trying to see if there's a way to
Extend the lives of the giants in the west and nephilim
The offspring of finite men
You see my gran was a gangster
She fought cancer
All guns blazing, back in the house
I saw her with tubes in her mouth and her nose
And I know that she might go south
But she stayed g'ed up, from her crown to her feet
Lady was a queen from her crown to her soul
Will I see her in the skies, only the lord knows
Will I look into her eyes, only the lord knows
Might see me in my icebox, all cryogenic
Might wanna freeze life and come back alive
Might turn to a cyborg, alter my moments
Steal 'em aways
Better live my palms
Got a black heart baby
At peace (?)
Now I'm (?)
Trying to make love, yeah I want it
A machine now
Like James Brown I need a heroine to come and save me
I see my name on the screen
Its my time to go
But I don't want to die
Found meaning in life, yeah its time to ride out
On the grim reaper as he sings from my soul
Will I live another day, only the lord knows
