Rescue Smile

​

Available to composers for co-writing

Lyrics written by Apollo Hyder

​

Verse

Can't carry myself

Sway side to side

Try to breathe but scream and shout

Top of my voice

​

Drifting out of sight

I am somebody who is nobody new

Or somebody who nobody knew

​

Verse

Sit with me

Hatch every step

To claim the fire and blood

Drained outta my veins

​

No zeal, no lust, no flesh

'Cause I'm somebody who is nobody new

Or somebody who nobody knew

​

Chorus

Waiting for a rescue smile 

Wondering why

Staring in the mirror 

Won't ease my soul

​

Waiting for a rescue smile 

Wondering why

Staring in the mirror 

Will never soothe my soul

​

Verse

My lips are dry

I stutter and shake

While my angry heart

Is cross and vexed

​

But I can't explain

Who I should shame for the one to blame

When the hounds of hell wag their tail

​

Verse

I know you won't

Play no pranks on me

When you beat the beast in me

Yet wonder I do

​

Can you explain

Who I should shame for the one to blame

When the hounds of hell wag their tail

​

Chorus

Waiting for a rescue smile 

Wondering why

Staring in the mirror 

Won't ease my soul

​

Waiting for a rescue smile 

Wondering why

Staring in the mirror 

Will never soothe my soul
