"Happiness Lies"
See the look I give
Feel it break you
Feel my sadness behind my eyes
The push of something new
I developed a lie about it
To change what's meant to be
I developed a song about them
But it never came up in conversation
I was dragging your soul behind me
In a ruined cardboard box
That smelt of all the fishes
That you threw back into the pond as a child
Or was that me?
My jumbled thoughts and memories
Confuse the hell out of my life
Conjunction of anger and seduction
And the thoughts of them with another
They fall through my spine
Like the droplets of a tap
Springing forth from my mind
Burnt candles, sickly sweet
Describe the love in ecstasy
Kiss me again and it'll feel alright
Without you here it's not a goodnight
It's just another goodbye and
Another painful word I have to hear
Another painful happiness that I can't even feel
What makes me happy?
I don't know
They used to but They've died with time,
Oh, I'm praying to God again for us all-
Confusion-
Seclusion-
Sometimes I'm all alone
Sitting in a comfort-zone
Dreaming about what used to be
Holding the remnants of me
That you broke loose when
You talk of days that feel like years
Was it worth all the tiresome tears shed for
The lack in today? |
