the day is gone, the sun has set the alarm
now i wait for the next cloud to sing
happy birthday
they scream instead of sing
and i swear little by little hell is whispering
go back to bed
but the sheets cover my head
blocking the light through the window
im sheltered but i can still feel the wind blow
far from the places i dreamt
would be perfect, but perfect is a myth
a full heart is a wise heart
they said, learn to live with it
so the blood in my veins run thin full of asprine
and alcohol, to watch my tears fall
splashing into the shapes of animals and sky scrappers
the clock has changed but it is later, later than..
a reason to do what i can to fill my mind up with optimism
because anything would be reason worth living
but it is hard to see anything when nothing fills the mold
if there is nothing then the word alone is something to hold
aint it? cant it be true?
happiness is just a thought away they say
just think about it and it'll be easier than you think
but my boats, i build , i build them to watch them sink
so some time past my time an explorer can find
what i meant, what i was meant for
for sure. optimism set in. im happy again.
but the wind is still cold and the clouds, they still scream
now i dont want to wake up
i know, ill open my eyes and have to do it all over
pretend there is luck in four leaf clovers
send my prayers to the sky when man made prayer
like screaming in the middle of nowhere
itll only cause an avalanch and you tell me to be rational
but rational seems to be a bit more insane than me
to believe the bullshit written on the walls of D.C
democracy, try humanity and resting on the thought that
we will never undo to others
as they do undo to you
but i was thinking that maybe the world is drunk
I'm just sleeping on a rock in the middle of muck
slowly sliding off a mountain and ill catch my breath
wake up to real sunlight
finally admit you were right
but the clouds are still not singing
happy birthday, happy birthday to me
so they scream, this..is not..a dream
this..is not a dream
and this is not..a dream
but i know somehow, ill prove to you
i can do unto you
what a wise heart is meant to do
prove that life is more than a law
a guide line to be moral
that love is more than just a word
because there is more to a nest than the birds
i could hold my breath until my face turns blue
to prove that this is how i know
i love you.
