Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Screens glow
Dead eyes scrolling
Cheap thrills
Blood in the scroll
Preacher sells his tattered halo
For a sponsor and a goal
Plastic saints at the crosswalk
Laugh while ashes fall
Silver tongues kiss the dagger
Call it mercy
Call it law
[Chorus]
We’re smiling at the rot
Clapping while the world burns slow
Shake hands with the poison
Say it’s fine
“that’s just how it goes”
We’re blessing every wound
Calling every shadow hope
Yeah
We’re smiling at the rot
As it tightens ‘round our throats
[Verse 2]
Judge takes bribes in the bathroom
Ink-stained hands wash clean
Kids trade souls for a follow
Chasing numbers in the screen
Every line gets twisted backward
Every sin gets redefined
If it pays
Then it’s righteous
If it hurts
We call it “kind”
[Chorus]
We’re smiling at the rot
Clapping while the world burns slow
Shake hands with the poison
Say it’s fine
“that’s just how it goes”
We’re blessing every wound
Calling every shadow hope
Yeah
We’re smiling at the rot
As it tightens ‘round our throats
[Bridge]
When did we start loving the chains? (hey!)
When did we start cheering the blade?
Hands up high for the horror parade
March in step
Call it “brave”
Call it “brave”
[Chorus]
We’re smiling at the rot
Clapping while the world burns slow
Shake hands with the poison
Say it’s fine
“that’s just how it goes”
We’re blessing every wound
Calling every shadow hope
Yeah
We’re smiling at the rot
As it tightens
As it chokes
[Outro]
Keep smiling at the rot
Till it wears your face as a mask
You wanted comfort
You got cancer
And it’s growing
Growing fast
