Hideaway In Advance
Some way to be
When the next thing comes along
To find some way
To explain what we think we need
Is it an excuse to blame the world
For what we refuse to see
Unhappy
Unhappy
All the erksome things which count so much
All those things which then cost so much
Come to lay out your heart
In thier ditch of troubled speach
Unhappy the lie which hides behind
The smile in every greeting
And there's the blame
It keeps on accusing
The sorry selfs
hypocrisy
And no-one else can see
A buried bone
Is one to exhume
When we feel the need
A bitter seed
Of judgements reprehensible
Impropriety
Do we feel its greed
Consuming all the moments
When from its glooming addiction
We are freed
Be
Unhappy
Unhappy
It kick starts all those reasons not to smile
Etching your days with its denial
Never been
Not ever when
Can't remember if you can
Happy
Unhappy
Swirls around the reasoned why
Taints the edge of tears we cry
Infiltrates and burdens now
Changes every cause to be.........
Having to believe in its reality
So involved in what you think and feel
Unhappy
Not the compass of any other persons
Point of view
Not of something
Which has anything at all
To do with you
Unhappy
Is written in our face
And it writes itself into our eyes
A slow motion response
Wanting to define our lives
No moderation of its sadness
As it alters the breathing heaviness
Curling up its tightness
Within your chest
Unhappy
As it kick starts all the reasons not to smile
Unhappy echoes on the irony
Languishing in its contemptuous laugh
Scratching at the days with its denial
Never seen
Not even when
Forgetting that ever once could be
So
Happy
