lyrics

Artificial Happiness


Give me unruly crowds and thick toxic clouds
Conversation muted; music loud
Give me portions of less so I'll come back for more
'Cause I die every night
Just to wake up bored


Spare decisions, well-earned criticisms
Spare me the mirror and send liquid dinner
Spare me one honest friend with their biting insight
'Cause I'm bored every morning
And I die every night

Evening comes -- we seek her out
Swirling her in our mouths
Another petite mort
Until the real one comes around
Until the real one comes around

Trade me one ugly truth for a hundred charming lies
Trade me "are you alright?" for two averted eyes
Trading everything I am for a whim unsatisfied
'Cause I'm bored every morning and I die every night

But for now, we'll settle for these shallow sips
But for now, we'll bathe in this manufactured bliss
But for now, postpone the day while we persist
In this artificial happiness
