lyrics

Happiness
Is temporarily
Forgetting what it means
To be caught in this treadmill
That just keeps on going
And god knows it's not going anywhere

Happiness
Is incidentally
Neglecting how futile
And meaningless
Our thoughts and our actions
But god knows the devil may care

There's a switch in my head that I don't control
Makes all sense disappear,
Drops me deep in a hole
Where I stand on my own

I have been nice today so leave me alone

Happiness
Is unmistakably
A failure to see
What's so clear to me
Down here
