Happy Song from Desert Child by Zoo Front

Happy Song

So you say want a happy song well good luck
I’m so goddamn tired and I don’t really give a fuck
I just want to find a place where I can sleep the night
And maybe in the morning find the strength to face the light

So I say who needs a happy song? Maybe you do
Maybe there’s a wrinkle of a prayer still left inside of you
Maybe there’s a pulse in there that I just can’t find
Maybe there’s a light but I’m still blind

And I don’t mean to disrespect you
It’s just my Achilles’ heel
I wish I was better at hiding from the facts
But I can only write the songs I feel

Don’t wanna write a happy song,
I don’t wanna get your hopes up
I don’t wanna die in a cage
Don’t want to be a spoke in somebody’s meaningless wheel
Don’t wanna smile ’cause I’ve got nothing left to say
And you still want your happy song
Well I guess that’s just too bad
I tried my best for years for you I gave it everything I had
I tried to step in time to your mad parade
And marched into the twilight just to feel the passion fade

And I’m sorry I disappoint you
I didn’t mean to seem so strong
I wish I was better at hiding things from you
I wish I could write a happy song
