Deadly Happiness
A fools fancy fades so fast
A lightened load will never last
A conscience of a sin unknown
Will always force a murmured moan
There is no hope of any joy
Except when, in the end, destroyed,
Your dreams come back and burn you down
A somniac sets forth a crown
So high and mighty
Deadly happiness
So wrong and right in true complacency
The darkest night's still one that you can't see
A foolish, faded frown has gone
A filthy grin's desolate dawn
A truth, a lie, a beggars joy
Is deadly when it is destroyed
Your dreams come back and burn you down
They desolate your crimson crown
So high and hollow
Deadly happiness
You're led, you follow to the wilderness
You've bled, you wallow in joy's sweet caress.
Such high and hollow
Deadly happiness
