One Wrong Grin

One Wrong Grin lyrics

Verse 1

My keys don't fit the door
They fit the mirror
The mirror says, "Good
You're here again"

I left a polite note
On the inside of the sink
It read, "Keep your hands off
The boy in the glass"

Pre-Chorus

And every bad decision
Sits up straight
Like a dog in a suit
At the end of the table

I nod like I know him
He nods back
Then the whole room leans
Toward the crack

Chorus

Wild years dark prism
Wild years dark prism
One wrong grin
And the room splits clean

Wild years dark prism
Wild years dark prism
I lost my face there
But it knew my name

Verse 2

The spoon in the drawer
Keeps counting my exits
Three for the laugh
Two for the lie

The lamp on the shelf
Won't stop its testimony
It says I came in
Already on fire

Pre-Chorus

So I dress like a rumor
Move like a bet
The floorboards hum
When I won't confess

Then the mirror gets louder
Than my own chest
Saying, "Boy, you asked for this
Now watch what happens next"

Chorus

Wild years dark prism
Wild years dark prism
One wrong grin
And the room splits clean

Wild years dark prism
Wild years dark prism
I lost my face there
But it knew my name

Bridge

The walls kept receipts
For every perfect mistake
The ceiling was laughing
With its mouth all black

Then the split came open
Like a card trick gone mean
And I saw all my futures
Wearing the same wet teeth

Wild years dark prism
Wild years dark prism
One wrong grin
And the room splits clean

Wild years dark prism
Wild years dark prism
I lost my face there
But it knew my name

Wild years dark prism
Wild years dark prism
I came out gleaming
Like a bad idea too late
