You wish me to be happy, joyous and smile
So I put on my act, felling sad all the while...

Look at all these people
full of sweetness and light...

When the sun takes away the night,
There is still darkness within our souls...

I drift to sleep and start my dreams,
crying out in silent screams...

Everyone around me,
sick and they are dying...

What does happiness mean to me
it's a feeling of joy and being free...

I can see you, you know
Hiding under your blanket...

You tell me life is great and life is fine,
but i know what goes on your head...

Damaged on the inside, happy on the outside
I can't let you know for the simple sake of pride...

I'll make you a deal with hope that all will be...
lets swap lives, gives me yours and ill give you...

Through the dreary day
through the stormy night...

Happiness, joy, wonderment and glee,
all of these emotions, they are wasted on me...
