Want to be Happy

Trying too hard to make this last

It's heading me to previous tracks

Of times to forget in the past

That made me become an outcast



Smoke herbally and hide my mind

Hide the real feelings to others blind

Come down and it's hard to find

Any joy that may lurk inside



Living with this stress managed by society

Put into suspense - drives me to insanity

People dedicate life to become wealthy

Enslaved in the circle, I want to be happy



Chorus:

Euphoria fills the day (Trouble turns to pleasure)

Somber moods at night (Thoughts of decomposure)

Strange dreams slumber (Brings me no relief)

Fighting the misery (I'm losing belief)

Drop me from this height (Releasing all the wrath)

Break away the chamber (Start another path)
