Happiness is not the heart
It's not at the start
Through the darkness it fears
Inside the hardness it hears
Your whispers and cries
Happiness always dies
Late at night when you're all alone
Left to die all on your own
Promises broken
Feelings broke open
Flooded over from held within
Blood flows from under the skin
Happiness is thought to be sought
Shortly to be shown for a lie you fought
Emptiness and alone, empty and on your own
Wings grew and were flown
It hurts, deep inside it goes to the depths
Harder and harder to breathe taking breaths
Beg for help, plead for comfort to save
To the dark demons of happiness a slave
Throughout the day, a smile is worn
And through the night the heart is torn
Happiness is not in your heart
It's not real, not apart
Something pretended to perceive
For those to believe and deceive
To think that you're okay, so no one bothers
Those friends that are like brothers
Happiness is not the heart
Happiness always falls apart
When solely reached and almost under
It storms with deathly thunder
Shadows cast and follow your mind
Happiness is never truly kind
For the day, it's okay
But when alone at night there's no way
Happiness falls apart and leaves you alone
Leaves you to the thieves to steal your throne
The demons, the darkness of heartless
Happiness is not the heart
It is what tears you apart
Happiness only pretends to be there for you
In the end, only one thing left true
It is not your heart
Happiness is the reason you're falling apart.
