When I say “happy” What are the feelings you conjure? Or would you even Recognize this word? I’ve a notion That tucked behind layers of rules and redemptions You’ve lost sight Of the bright lights on the horizon. Every time someone falls in love with me Another ray of sunshine Hits my soul and Gathers up more happiness Than I ever thought I could deserve And I remember how to be More than content More than just a body breathing through each day I remember how to Live. Somehow I’m selfish For having this family of mine I’ve been told it’s wrong To be this happy – with the way we’re living But you’re not happy And I am So fuck off.
