Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Found it in the attic dust
Plastic smile and a busted flash
We were bored so we called it fun
Point and click
Then we heard the crash
Dad’s car twisted at the light
Glass like rain on a summer night
Photo still warm in my hand
His face frozen
Like it knew the plan
[Chorus]
Say cheese
And something breaks
Every shot another soul it takes
Say cheese
We press and pray
What will disappear today?
Say cheese
That crooked grin
Once it sees you
It drags you in
[Verse 2]
You posed
Peace sign by the swings
Sun in your hair
Just a stupid thing
Next day they called your name in class
Empty chair
Teacher’s voice like glass
Flyers taped to the lockers’ rows
Your smile staring through the folds
I checked the print
You’re turned away
Eyes gone black like you’d slipped away
[Chorus]
Say cheese
And something breaks
Every shot another soul it takes
Say cheese
We press and pray
What will disappear today?
Say cheese
That crooked grin
Once it sees you
It drags you in
[Bridge]
Did we make this monster?
Or did it make us too? (yeah)
If I burn these pictures
Do I burn what’s left of you?
Finger shaking on the shutter
Heartbeat ticking like a fuse
One more frame to find the answer
What do I win
Who do I lose?
[Chorus]
Say cheese
And something breaks
Every shot another soul it takes
Say cheese
We press and pray
What will disappear today?
Say cheese
You’re in too deep
This camera only keeps what it can’t keep
[Outro]
Point it at the mirror
Dare it to choose
If I’m gone in the photo
Was it me
Or was it you?
