archaic smile

Singer:wye oak

sculptor

never leave my side

and expose this empty smile

could the truth be falsified

and hold it off a little while

never look quite right

ponderous and idle

still i'm gonna try

and show you my--

archaic smile

two thousand years below the sea

moves like a blinking eye

sixty days in front of me

it is an ocean running dry

temper all these hidden moves

behind uneasy stares

pass me to the centuries

they will never know what's there

what's there

never look quite right

ponderous and idle

still i'm gonna try

and show you my--

archaic smile
