Misery In Happiness
03:33

I can't explain what's happening,
There's inner turmoil going on behind this grin,
And every time I put my pen to paper I can't write a thing.
And every time I try to write a song,
Nothing comes out and it's being going on too long,
I've been trying to figure out what's wrong and I think I've solved the problem.
The words never came that easily,
And everything I write ends up in the same key,
I was happy in my misery,
But now, I've found misery in happiness.
It never used to be this way,
I had a problem for a song almost every day,
But then you came along and picked me up,
And now everything has changed.
The words never came that easily,
And everything I write ends up in the same key,
I was happy in my misery,
But now, I've found misery in happiness.
Suffocating on my words,
From the chorus to the verse,
I never thought that this would ever happen,
But I know that I can't have it all.

Never Leaving Here

Aren't you a little curious,
A little sick of never leaving here?
Every day you get up, same old shit,
You never think of leaving here.
I can't believe you never leave this town,
You've never seen what lies outside the walls,
You've never ventured out,
And it's quite clear to me,
You're quite content with staying here,
But I, I won't hang around.
Ten years gone and you've got not a thing to show for it,
You are never leaving here.
No memories, no photographs from the times you spent away,
You have always been right here.

Walking Home Alone

The sky is turning black,
I've been wandering out here for hours and hours,
And never even thought about turning back.
I've been caught outside again,
The night is not my friend,
Out in the cold,
As dark descends I walk home alone.
My heart accelerates,
It's getting kinda late,
I don't wanna be here anymore.
I should be over this by now,
But human instincts overpower,
They overpower.
Walking home alone,
The light left me here not long ago.
But am I really on my own?
Or is there something I can't see?
Is Mother Nature playing tricks on me again?
Shadows dance and move around,
My heaving breathing being drowned out by the rustling leaves,
Once in the trees,
But now lie on the ground.
I don't have far to go,
But the darkness only grows,
And the more I stay,
The more my mind plays,
And I already know,
I should be over this by now,
But human instincts overpower,
They overpower.
Walking home alone,
The light left me here not long ago.
But am I really on my own?
Or is there something I can't see?
Is Mother Nature playing tricks on me again?

October

I guess that's it?
It's been raining for three days and just won't quit.
I've been staring out the windows for a glimpse,
Of an opportunity that can't be missed.
Sitting here with nothing but my thoughts for company,
And a thousand channels of mind numbing TV.
I can't even find one thing I want to see.
But I'll just wait it out.
Six months doesn't seem so long.
In the cold, I'll stay home.
Looking out at the red and green and the colours in-between,
There will soon be nothing left for you and me,
But the naked branches swaying in the trees.
It's not so bad when I think of all the times that we have shared,
It'll get me through the months that lie ahead,
And when summer comes around I'll see you there.
But I'll just wait it out.
Six months doesn't seem so long.
In the cold, I'll stay home.
