Counterfeit Emotions

Counter of happy pills all lined up,
Pride gets in the way,
Wont admit your heads ****ed up,
Tricked yourself believing past stays behind,
Knows damn well it's what go you in this grind,

Recognize it, deal with it, move on
Like lifting weights, emotions make your strong

Refuse to be real,
From yourself you steal,
Ability to be happy,
Emotions are counterfeit, treat people crappy

Recognize it, deal with it, move on
Like lifting weights, emotions make your strong

Fear of uncertainty prohibits you from change,
Future hopes and dreams are further deranged,
Emotional turmoil surrounds, 
your standing in a ring of fire
Dealing with you, my oh my ,
makes me so so tired.
