Happy Thoughts
1 2 3
Rest your head
Take a breath
Lay in bed
Close your eyes
Your work is done
Hold the trigger
And drop the gun
Wipe your tears
Dry your face
Leave this path
It’s not your place
Sit back up
Count to 4
Relive the pains
Re-fight the war
Look in the mirror
See your veins
Clench your fist
And drop the blade
Thing again
Count to 5
I know it hurts
It’s not your time
Count to 6
See yourself
See the pain
See the hell
Run the water
Fill the tub
Up to 7
You've had enough
Let tears fall
8 9 10
Think happy thoughts instead.
