[Intro]
Smile wide
Teeth shine
Heart tired
Eyes lying
[Verse 1]
Got a fistful of cash and a hollow chest
Hit the backroom high just to feel less stressed
Every handshake slick, every joke half-true
Every laugh too loud when they look at you
Sunday suit with a Monday soul
I been selling off pieces just to feel whole
Every late-night chase, every dirty bet
Leaves a mark on my name that I ain’t met yet
[Chorus]
I got glass teeth, painted gold
All this shine can’t hide my soul
I keep grinning while I lose control (lose control)
Yeah, I’m dancing with my demons in a rented home
I got glass teeth, watch ‘em crack
When the truth hits, I can’t bite back
Smile so sweet, but it’s all act
I’m kissing on the chaos just to fade to black
[Verse 2]
Little pill, little line, little midnight call
Tell myself “one more” while I watch me fall
Every touch so quick, never learn their names
Every bed same script, just a different frame
Mama’s voice in my ear saying, “Boy, be still”
But the rush feel right when it climb that hill
Got a phone full of secrets and a dead-screen stare
Scroll past my conscience like it ain’t there
[Pre-Chorus]
Why I keep running to the same cold fire?
Why I keep lying ‘bout my own desires?
In the mirror, man, I swear I see a stranger
But I put on that grin like I’m in no danger (hey)
[Chorus]
I got glass teeth, painted gold
All this shine can’t hide my soul
I keep grinning while I lose control (lose control)
Yeah, I’m dancing with my demons in a rented home
I got glass teeth, watch ‘em crack
When the truth hits, I can’t bite back
Smile so sweet, but it’s all act
I’m kissing on the chaos just to fade to black
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to bass, snaps, and vocal]
I’m the joke and the jester (uh)
Blessed and a backstreet investor (yeah)
Stack it up, burn it down, that’s my lecture
Love too real? I elect to neglect her
How many highs just to feel this low?
How many lies till the mask won’t close?
If I peel this grin off, show my face
Will anybody love me in this place? (ooh)
[Chorus]
I got glass teeth, painted gold
All this shine can’t hide my soul
I keep grinning while I lose control (lose control)
Yeah, I’m dancing with my demons in a rented home
I got glass teeth, watch ‘em crack
When the truth hits, I can’t bite back
Smile so sweet, but it’s all act
I’m kissing on the chaos just to fade to black
[Outro]
Smile wide
Teeth shake (teeth shake)
Hands clean
Heart ache
One day
I might speak
Till then
I just bleed through my teeth
