Smiles by Snow Crash

This one is about making decisions.

LYRICS

She looks at you across the top of her glass and smiles
And you think to yourself what harm is there inside?
If I don't talk too much you won't know how it feels
If I don't laugh too loud I'll make believe it's real

While you watch the drops falling off the table you don't hear
Aspersions on your character
You wonder why you came to be insulted
As you are, a pool is growing on the floor

And do you hurt? How do you live?
Do you see you're suffocating me
What do I feel, why can't I breathe?
Now I'm the one to leave

Within your head you know the truth immortalised
A shining path to seeing with tomorrow's eyes
But when she speaks out, suppressing undercurrents
Of the war, it's not worth fighting anymore.

And do you hurt? How do you live?
Do you see you're suffocating me
What do I feel, why can't I breathe?
Will it ever be the same again?

What did I say? What can I do
To prove that it was always you?
The one who taught me to believe
And it's not over yet for me

And do you hurt? How do you live?
Do you see you're suffocating me
What do I feel, why can't I breathe?
Now I'm the one to leave
