Send "Sound Effects and Over Dramatics" ringtones to your cell

When the shirt came off, it was all in time 
When a m-m-m-minute turned into a mile 
And then I broke that grin, and I cut it out 
And you got all turned on by the taste of your sin--> -Taste of the ocean- 
When I mention blue, all you thought was color 
When you mention drugs, all I thought was sober 
When your pants came off and I turned you over 
When you mention blue 

Kill! Smile! Cut it out for me this time! 
Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while 

Keep the mask aligned 
Get it up in time 
There's a space between valleys 
and try and catch a vibe 
Make a circle square, a rectangle curve 
Use a smile as a noun and I think like a verb 
Really quick switch sides 
Smile Filled with Cancer  
And the room is shaking 
Now you're changing places, 
and I switched my pace, 
and my breathing races when you mention blue 

Kill! Smile! Cut it out for me this time! 
Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while 
Kill! Smile! Cut it out for me this time! (This is not [x6]) 
Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while (Smile, smile) 

Kill, smile, cut it out for me, cut it, cut it out 
Smile, kill, cut it out for me, cut it, cut it out 
We cut it out! 

Kill! Smile! Cut it out for me this time! 
Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while 
Kill! Smile! Cut it out for me this time! (This is not [x6]) 
Smile, haven't seen him smile in a while (Smile, smile) 

Get down and stay awake 
Smile

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Ahem...just thought I'd mention that the screaming in the chorus of this song isnt just bert...its Sean Ingram of Coalesce. yeah... And also, the 'blue' thing in this song is about crystal meth i think....blue is slang for crystal meth "When I mentioned blue, all you thought was color"... get it?

1 posts	This song is so crazy, i love it. I love this song because it is so diff. than all the other songs on here. I also think this songs about meth, The craziness could be a symbol of what meth is like when your all tweaked out. Not only what someone else said about the part "when i mention blue all you thought was color" Then the part "when you mention drugs, all i thought was sober..." because he has cleaned up. The song im a fake says it all. And i also agree that this and im a fake are the best songs on the cd.
