Smiling for the eight-millimeter With a smile that suddenly seems too familiar Like a smile that we put on every day in the mirror A smile that knows how to fade And you've been screaming Yeah, you've been screaming And you can't stop screaming, no And everybody's scared That you're headed over there And you're getting pretty scared yourself And did you know that you were not alone? As you wandered through the vapor getting lost No, you didn't know, and now you're almost gone And you don't want to talk at all about it That's okay 'cause I'm afraid to talk about it And now it's too late to talk to you about it And I'm talking to myself And you don't want anyone to see you Don't you worry, no one's gonna see you It's the last thing you said And that means permanent 'Cause we don't take things back You could have told me And did you know that you were not alone? As you wandered through the vapor getting lost No, you didn't know, and now you're almost gone And it's too late for me to help you hold on In a dirty waiting room You didn't know what you were waiting for And I was in denial too In one brief moment of lucidity You said "I don't know why this is happening to me" And all that's left The remnant of a camera lens Where you can stay beautiful As the ink slowly fades and vanishes And did you know that you were not alone? As you wandered through the vapor getting lost But you didn't know, and now you're gone
