It's a short escape, a drug like matter
It takes too much time, then when it disperses everyone scatters

I try to grasp it, and for awhile I feel happy
But when everyone leaves, I just go back to feeling crappy

Groaning, pleading, I need this cure
I'm like a swimming fish, getting caught by a lure

I constantly surround myself with things that smile
Yet everyday it only lasts for a while

Caught in an endless loop, I just go along with the flow
People surround me, their faces glow

When I express myself, they all just leave
I've learned to just smile, play make-believe

Why do people lie about this amazing drug
It's not real, so I just shrug
