about

Being shot down by life and the negative complex things that can happen in life that will bring you down and kill you if you let it. The song is about moving forward no matter what life throws at you and being unstoppable and moving forward an carrying on

lyrics

White grey walls covered in blood
The first man falls your trigger finger is untrained
Always causing pain I will not rise a gain
I will not live forever
Wipe the smile off your face
You do not know me I'm someone else

Smile Smile Smile before the bullets
Smile Smile Smile before the bullets
Smile Smile Smile before the bullets
Smile Smile Smile before the bullets

Thrown into darkness and brutalized
I'm no puppet I'm a fucking grenade
Scourges clap for me so play your empty tug of war
Your does of poison seeps through the floor
Call upon your cowardly guileless ranks
And found you find you fired blanks

Smile Smile Smile before the bullets
Smile Smile Smile before the bullets
Smile Smile Smile before the bullets
Smile Smile Smile before the bullets

Iron and blood goes through me
Gun powered revenge broken my chains
And made me king I'm the last bullet in the chamber
You forgot I was there

Smile Smile Smile before the bullets
Smile Smile Smile before the bullets
Smile Smile Smile before the bullets
