Myth Of Happiness

Well, that bullet in your mouth

Found the easy way out

Wont be long until you're sorry

The future was lookin' starry

Now your eyes are sweating doubt

You look good in them jeans

Do you know what love means?

They said just do the things you do

And love'll just come to you

They left out all the in betweens

I have found effort combined with indifference

Is the formula for success

And the prisoner most craving deliverance

Is the one proffered it less

Why wont you liberate me?

I'm a captive refugee

From this myth of happiness

Still a believer I guess

I don't always feel on

In fact I'm usually turned off

But I am drawn into your grieving

And you're smile's not so deceiving

I can take the faceoff

And he coulda, woulda, wasn't

I am, will, have, did

If tomorrow I died

No one could say I hadn't tried

Even succeeded, god forbid

I have found effort combined with indifference

Is the formula for success

And the prisoner most craving deliverance

Is the one proffered it less

Why wont you liberate me?

I'm a captive refugee

From this myth of happiness

Still a believer I guess

You say you don't have love

What if love truly is an action?

Cant learn to walk until you crawl

But why does a building have to fall

For a man to show compassion

I have found effort combined with indifference

Is the formula for success

And the prisoner most craving deliverance

Is the one proffered it less

Why wont you liberate me?

I'm a captive refugee

From this myth of happiness

Still a believer I guess

Will you believe with me? Say yes
