Around The Corner (Happiness)

from In Jest by Poison Fish

lyrics

Drinking on the streets and it's cold as hell
Haven't slept in weeks as I think to myself
I'll roam this soil where I pay my rent
Cause I never really cared what the government meant

My arms are heavy, And my knees are weak
It's been so long since I got real sleep
It's slipping down the wayside coming around the bend
I'm always afraid that I didn't understand

It's cold as dark and still as night
And I refuse to take in the light
I'm afraid of what it makes be like
And it's out of my head where I stay at night

They want my money but not my thoughts
My love told me I must be gone
It's slipping down the wayside coming around the bend
And I'll play this guitar without my hands

I'm stranded I'm stuck, I'm down in the dumps
And I'll sit right here, On this old tree stump
Catch my breath while I'm talking to myself
They're breaking out the classics to forget about hell

Standing at the bar at the open mic
Remembering what past loves were like
It's slipping down the wayside coming around the bend
I'd rather be dead than just pretend

Drinking on the streets and it's cold as hell
Haven't slept in weeks as I think to myself
I'll roam this soil where I pay my rent
Cause I never really cared what the government meant

My arms are heavy, And my knees are weak
It's been so long since I got real sleep
It's slipping down the wayside coming around the bend
I'm always afraid that I didn't understand

Standing on the corner
And it's getting kinda dark
Never really thought about
The things I laugh at

Drink myself stupid
I think me dumb
Trynot to think about
What I've become

Injury prone
With a touch of nightmare
Never really really thought about
I didn't have care

Shackled in the basement
I never want to move
Love sick, Home sick
Broken groove

Accumulate the answers to questions never asked
Start another fire to purge the darkness
This is what we're saying, we never want to speak
But if you never listen it'd get to me...

Drinking on the streets and it's cold as hell
Haven't slept in weeks as I think to myself
I'll roam this soil where I pay my rent
Cause I never really cared what the government meant

My arms are heavy, And my knees are weak
It's been so long since I got real sleep
It's slipping down the wayside coming around the bend
I'm always afraid that I'll never understand
