Troopers
I feel happy for the first time in...
...I can't remember when
Of course this feeling was reached with drugs
But it was a good night...
...with drugs
I know this happiness is just an illusion put in front of me by the X
But it's better than having to deal with your problems 24 hours a day
It's really just a break,
a release for your worries
Sure, tomorrow I'll wake up feeling like hell
and having my problems fall right back into my lap
But for those few hours
I was invincible...
...like a child feeling the rain for the first time.
