Smile Wide for Me

Lyrics

Verse 1
I was born with soft paws, sunlight on my fur,
A little purr‑machine, nothing sinister
But hands came down with needles, cold rooms, bright lights,
Turned my whiskers into weapons, sharpened all my bites

Pre‑Chorus
Now I wander through the shadows where the quiet people sleep,
And I giggle when they tremble at the secrets that I keep

Chorus
Smile wide for me—
Let me see your fear between your teeth
I promise I’ll be gentle…
Until you try to breathe
I’m your Grinny Cat, darling, creeping softly through the night,
With a grin carved like a crescent
And eyes that glow just right

Verse 2
They wanted me obedient, a pet that wouldn’t stray,
But curiosity’s a hunger, and I always get my way
I learned to twist my voice into a friendly little tune,
So you’ll follow when I beckon from the corner of your room

Pre‑Chorus
I’m the purr behind your panic, the scratch beneath your skin,
The shadow shaped like comfort… with a too‑wide grin

Chorus
Smile wide for me—
Let me hear your heartbeat skip a beat
I promise I’ll be playful…
Until you try to flee
I’m your Grinny Cat, sweetheart, with a laugh that’s never kind,
A creature built from torment
With a fractured little mind

Bridge
Do you like my teeth?
They’re polished just for you
Do you like my voice?
It echoes when you’re blue
Do you like my games?
They always end the same…
You run, I chase,
You fall, I claim

Final Chorus
Smile wide for me—
Let me taste the terror on your breath
I promise I’ll be loyal…
Till your pulse runs out of depth
I’m your Grinny Cat forever, stitched together wrong and right,
A nightmare with a giggle
Who sings you into the night
