There was a time I use 2 smile…

Before I saw the world was vile.

I touched the radio, changed the dial,

Set my tone, arranged my style.

Adventure took me the extra mile

Until I fell into the wild.

I faced the truth in pure denial:

Things might be ugly for a while.

Before the pain that broke the child,

Before I entered the wrong aisles,

Before my vines were turned to vinyl,

My dreams turned leaves all in a pile,

There was a time… I use 2 smile.
