Happiness has a funny habit of leaving me depressed.
I guess it goes hand in hand with what I've repressed.

Do you feel as time leaks out the window?
That gut wrenching feeling of not wanting to let go.

What happens to the ones we leave behind?
Were they able to find a place that was kind?

Loneliness is an ominous feeling.
Built up over decades leaving you feening.
Those around can't fill the gap.
It's all a part of the daily trap.

Why don't you realize in the moment?

It can never return to how it was before.
It doesn't matter how much you plead for more.
You're only going to be left with a heart that is sore.
It doesn't help to even try to ignore.

Happiness has a funny habit of leaving me depressed.
It outlines the issues of the times not processed.

How do you distinguish the values of one lost in time?
Every single action feels like it is a crime.

A passive existence doesn't help either side.
A pointless existence on a meaningless ride.

Do you feel as time leaks out the window?
Where it has wandered off to you'll never know.

The feeling is of one who has lost themselves.
Holding onto a box of spells that can't be dispelled.

How do we know when we've had enough?

I don't know if my past actions were a mistake.
I don't know if I'm actually buried beneath some lake.
I don't know if I'm only just a fake.

Where do the ones left behind end up?

The light doesn't reach my location.
I am stuck listening to the same station.
Every time I saw that look.
I battled with a feeling that couldn't be shook.

Happiness has a funny habit of leaving me depressed.
Reliving all of the moments I long suppressed.

Is it okay for me to reemerge?
Or will it lead to me being submerged?

The consequences are difficult to shake.
The pain is something you can learn to take.
The path ahead is what you create.

Do you feel as time leaks out the window?
Maybe this time, I'll see where it flows.
