Happy Fakers

Reveling in grief the way most do in joy

I can no longer remember purity of happiness

It was only an image from long ago

Does anyone wonder if really and truly

Were denying nature by seeking bliss

Some of the greats would never have been

If they had not been damned

They wrote their way through life

Of course picking up a few addictions or many along the way

But then again that is human nature to destroy itself and everything in its path

So we of course must destroy ourselves

Why preserve something thats life is so fleeting

Why not wallow in it and be truly miserable in complete happiness

Maybe were the ones that are really happy

The ones with the hurt inside us

We cant be filled with joy if we dont know what its like to not be

That is the pure adoring irony of life

The people that are truly happy have hidden scars so deep they can never be filled

And the ones whove never been hurt

Well thats either a facade or their world is about to crumble

Thats where I get my kicks from the Damned Hurt

Pure joy comes from pain
