Smile Like a Switch

You smile on and off like a switch.
I write silly songs to get rich,
But it's honest work when
You've tried just as hard to stay sick.

Grow old and grow out your mistakes.
Firm grasp or occasionally sane.
Nothing I do or say,
Make peace with your face when it's fake.

I'll give you what I've got to give.
Life's hard but its harder to live,
And there's always dead ends.
We act like we are on sinking ships.
