Happiness...

Take these plastic people 
Read their lips, now let it linger 
Is there anything that makes them sound 
sincere? 
Tightly hold your hand 
Take a deep breath, give them the finger 
Are you worried 
That your thoughts are not quite clear? 
(Twitch) 
Overlooked, unfit appearance 
I remember falling 
I remember marching 
Like a one man army 
Through the blaze 
I remember coughing 
I believe in something 
I don't want to remember falling 
For their lies 
Unbutton your clothes 
Undress your soul, show them your vigor 
Are those inhibitions easiest to fear? 
Take this gasoline tin 
Head up high , walk like a winner 
Let the bare feet be the last sound that 
they hear 

I confess 
Everyone is overweight 
And I'm obsessed 
Talking is just masturbating 
Without the mess 
Addiction leaves you sad today 
& unimpressed 
I can't remember all the names because 
Everyone you meet today 
Is just so fucking vain 
Bored again by happiness 
All those friends I've (die) lost in there 
I'm upset 
Happiness is not a fish 
That you can catch 
Imagination can't resist 
This laziness 
That pins you down, get on your knees 
Everyone you meet today 
Is feeling useless & ashamed 

We live, we die 
I don't know the reasons we ask why 
We hate, we push 
Recent tests show we are all misunderstood 
Something's seizing 
You know you lost your mind 
You know we all need saving 
She found you late last night 
You feel the madness gaining 
You know you just can't win 
You know this 
But I'm just so tired of waking up on the ground 
I never knew the girl 
And I never knew the world hurt 
We beg, we pray 
But everything still happens anyway 
Something's teasing 
Your conscience can't decide 
She stopped your will from caving 
But left you paranoid 
You feel the constant straining 
She reappears divine 
You noticed 
But I'm just so tired of waking up all 
alone 

Lately I can't breathe
Waiting they're chasing me
No one listens but I'm OK with it
Only I wonder why
If only my hands weren't tied
The world's a blister
But I'm OK with it
What if I was there
What if I was scared
I'm waiting for...
They're at my door
But I'll be back again
Lonely, I'm wandering
Patrolling for enemies
No one listens but I'm ok with it

Goodbye, the future's sold out 
There's no use screaming 
Who thought we'd ever get this far 
Tonight, your faith has come down 
To money & a TV 
Psychics who've never been to mars 
And nazis breast feeding 
I know you must be upset 
I can't find meaning 
I'm sorry, we're sorry 
We're all scared, all scared 
Hey is anybody home 
Has anybody wasted tears on the 
loneliness 
That everyone becomes 
Goodnight, the truth has come out 
Everyone's needy 
White teeth, a ticket to meet god 
Be all that you envy 
The shotgun under your bed has 
Started breathing 
You shot it, you shot it 
I'm bare, I'm bare 
Hey, is anybody home 
Has anybody painted fear 
On the bedroom walls that save us 
from... 

Hit the ground 
Weighed down again 
You walked out 
But I'm sure you're my friend 
It must have been good 
This can't be for good 
Everyone's.... 
Is everyone OK 
I waited 
But I must be too dumb to be proud 
Because I waited, I waited 
Woke to sounds 
I prayed you were there 
I fell back down 
But I'm sure you still care 

I don't want to understand this horror 
There's a weight in your eyes that I can't admit 
Everybody ends up here in bottles 
But the name tags the last thing that you wanted 
As the world explodes we fall out of it 
But we can't let go because this 
Will not go away 
There's a house built out in space... 
I can't see that thief that lives inside of 
your head 
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed 
I don't know what's happening and I 
won't pretend 
But I can be your.... 
Someone help us understand who ordered 
This disgusting arrangement with time and the end 
I don't want to hear who walked on water 
Because the hallways are empty and the 
clock ticks 

I'm here to wear you out 
I'm here to watch you hide 
Nothing to figure out 
I'm here to watch you die 
Running away from the breast of 
Your busy giant healing machine 
Nobody left in line 
No-one to make you shine 
Hanging on to the backs of opinions 
You've borrowed & betrayed 
Lying awake 
Don't ask why you should pay for this 
A mother 
Another 
A shameless abusing 
But this time we're saving you 
I'm here to break you down 
I'm here to bury time 
Nothing to talk about 
Nothing to change my mind 

You're a little bit shy 
A little too quiet 
You're the mixed up girl 
That everybody leaves behind 
A little bit weird 
A little too bright 
But you just might be 
That little bomb at their side 
They'll pull your hair 
They'll leave you wide-eyed 
But did anybody wonder 
What Annie might have in mind 
Oh, no 
There's something in the way she 
explains to me 
"Please be careful, i exist in someone 
else's head" 
Oh, no 
There's something in the way that she 
makes believe 
Please be careful, 
Annie dreams that everyone is dead 
You're a little bit dry 
A little uptight 
You're the messed up girl 
That every body tries to hide 
You've had enough 
They're too unkind 
But did anyone consider 
What Annie might have in mind 
Oh, no... 

Take all your pills and divide them 
By color & size 
Take all your problems and advise them 
That everything's fine 
Since you ran away you've been beating 
Your habits to death 
But if you were to stay would you feed them 
This white happiness 
Nobody wants to harm you 
When you're outside 
But it's hard to believe 
When everyone's killing time 
Somebody knows 
That you're not laughing 
Take all your pills and divide them 
By number and might 
Take all your problems chastise them 
Because everything's fine 
Since you've ran away you've been 
beating Those ladders instead 
But if you were to stay would you feed 
them with violence 

I'm teething on the answers you're saving 
How are you going to make me understand 
I'm dreaming while your stealing babies 
How are you going to help me sleep again 
How should I say "I'm so sorry" 
How should I pray to know that we're alive 
Eve stands alone 
By the knock on the door 
By the thin in her bones 
She's courageous & loving 
Exhausted & cold 
She's not ready to go 
But the ghost on the phone 
Helps her safely into her dream 
You're leaving pieces of family 
How are you going to help them understand 
I'm screaming while you're stealing babies 
Why do you want to knock us downmagain
