Shiny On the Outside - Spasm

I could come to believe,

I should give you control.

I can bite my tongue.

I can sell you my soul.

But, I’m only as good as the hands I shake.

I’m only as good as the drugs I take.

I’m only as good as the smile I make.

I’m only good as I can fake

being shiny on the outside.

I could come to believe

this is what we do

I can swallow my pride,

I can swallow yours too.

But, I’m only as good as the hands I shake.

I’m only as good as the drugs I take.

I’m only as good as the smile I make.

I’m only good as I can fake

being shiny on the outside.

But, I’m only as good as the hands I shake.

I’m only as good as the drugs I take.

I’m only as good as the smile I make.

I’m only good as I am fake.

So shiny on the outside.
