[Verse 1]
They ask me if I'm fine
I just sit nice and pretty
They feed me all these lines
So I go and vomit them back grinning
They think they know what we should like
Our taste disturbs their appetite
They think they know who we should be
But that look don't look so good on me

[Pre-Chorus]
No one here seems like they're alright
Keeping it together
Pretend we've never been better
Let's forget our failures tonight
Don't need permission
To lose our inhibitions

[Chorus]
Everybody's got a Cheshire smile
Yeah, they'll never know you're hurting with a face like that
Such a lovely denial
When you're dying but you tell 'em that it's not that bad
Everybody's got a Cheshire smile
Got a Cheshire smile

[Verse 2]
No, honey, I'm not fine
If you could just give me a minute
This conversation's dry
Guess that's the way that you want, is it?
They think they know how we should feel
Synthetic emotions ain't real
They think they know which way to go
Follow the leader like a drone

[Pre-Chorus]
No one here seems like they're alright
Keeping it together
Pretend we've never been better
Let's forget our failures tonight
Don't need permission
To lose our inhibitions
[Chorus]
Everybody's got a Cheshire smile
Yeah, they'll never know you're hurting with a face like that
Such a lovely denial
When you're dying but you tell 'em that it's not that bad
Everybody's got a Cheshire smile
Got a Cheshire smile

[Bridge]
It's all drag drag, baby
Put away the pretentious
It's okay to be viscous
I wanna see all your issues
It's all drag drag, baby
Yeah, you have my attention
Show me the you that's been missing, yeah

[Chorus]
Everybody's got a Cheshire smile
Yeah, they'll never know you're hurting with a face like that
Such a lovely denial
When you're dying but you tell 'em that it's not that bad
Everybody's got a Cheshire smile
Got a Cheshire smile

[Outro]
Everybody's got a Cheshire smile
Got a Cheshire smile
