Are You Happy?

lyrics

It’s a long rope
Tied for the note

Sign it

Vengeful knife corrode
Under the mountain
Earth swallows them whole

But are you happy, now?
But are you happening to burn out?
Dissolving into self doubt (plotting how to get out?)


Fishing line and some time, (as you squirm around)
These sharks always have devoured you

But are you happy now?
But are you happy now?

And all this would fall around you
and time would follow
Waiting to find that door to escape
Awaken back into pain

Not a bliss plane

It’s a long rope
You’ll forget what you wrote (as you proceed to get old)
Rest you’ll never find
Become your parallel mind

But are you happy now?
But are you happy now?

But are you happy in there?
But are you happy in there?
It’s time to hold on to the side rail
