HAPPY SORROW

Sweet lovely wrestle in my soul

Tie me up and eat me whole

Leave my bones to burn in the cold

I’m sure nobody would know

Collecting the fears inside me

Selling them to the devil at night

Almost everything that surrounds me

Somehow makes me skin feel tight

And I would fall from the tree I swing

And I might listen to the songs they sing

But in the end I’m just watching the world turn over

I’m just waiting for nothing

And so I have a name

Call me by surprise

That’s barely me anyway

Because the truth was only a lie

I can’t wait to move on

I’m finding wilder clouds each day

And the heat coming from the floor

It only hurts for a while this way

Pain, what sorrow lives you apart

I have found a consistent home now

Even if it rips away my heart.
