I chased annihilation
In a thousand roadside bars
Then I pulled myself together
And discovered who you are
Surprised to see me happy?
Disappointed I’m alive?
Were you quietly applauding
My inevitable demise?
A girl who never liked me
Said, “Hello” and wished me well
Disappointment in her voice said
“I’m amazed you’re not in hell”
Surprised to see me happy?
Disappointed I’m alive?
Were you quietly applauding
My inevitable demise?
Chastise and condemn
And tell yourself you’re blessed
I can only shrug:
I’m wishing everyone the best
Surprised to see me happy?
Disappointed I’m alive?
Were you quietly applauding
My inevitable demise?

You’re a backstabbing loser
And a four-faced snitch
A never-ending whimper
And a whiny little bitch
You swallow some drinks
And you talk a lot of shit
Nobody wants to listen to
A whiny little bitch
You got a lot of theories
But you’ll never admit
What you did to yourself
Cuz you’re a whiny little bitch
You’re a fixating fool
Never knowing when to quit
Nobody wants to listen to
A whiny little bitch

Happiness is a sad song
—Charles Schultz
Everything was beautiful
Until it went wrong
Happiness
Is sad song
Weeping for Hecuba
And all those hurts beyond
Happiness
Is sad song
Poking ancient agony
Clutching what is gone
Happiness
Is sad song
Accepting my reality:
I loved you all along
Happiness
Is sad song

See that messed up
Couple over there?
She’s got a million tats
And he never cuts his hair
Can’t you just be happy
They have one another?
Can’t you be happy
They found love with each other?
What could those people
Ever see in each other?
She’s the wrong age
And he’s the wrong color
If you got a comment
Just keep it in your throat
It isn’t your life
You don’t get a vote
So wrong for each other
Just headed for trouble
It really makes me sad
When the wrong people couple
In this crazy old world
It ain’t easy to stay warm
Can’t you just be happy
They found shelter from the storm?

My guts are bleeding
My anatomy’s afire
The fog is receding
I’m a loser and a liar
Takes a toll on my health
When I pretend to be ok
Been lying to myself
Since I sent you away
Alone in my room
A wayward little boy
Living on the fumes
Of the love I destroyed

You went out for some coffee
But you never came back
Now you call me on the phone
And you wanna slither back
You disrupt and take advantage
Everywhere you go
You owe a thousand dollars
To everyone I know
Do you ever stop to think
About the things you’re doin’?
Do you ever contemplate
Your trail of wreck and ruin?
You’ve worn out every welcome
From here to Timbuktu
After all the things you did
Why should I get back with you?
“I just need another chance”
Is all you ever say
Take your basket full of sorry
And please just go away
by Richard W. Bray

I tried to feed a hunger
That grew and grew
I climbed a million mountains
For that perfect view
Never knew where I was going
But I kept pushing through
Till a thousand wrong turns
Led me to you
Been a lotta places
Where the wind blows cold
I never take advice
I don’t do what I’m told
Ended with a prize
Amazing to behold
I chased a million rainbows
And you’re my pot of gold

Every breath I take
Fills me up with pain
I go out every morning
Pretending like I’m sane
I’m a lost hopeless goner
Living in vain
Defeated and depleted
Nowhere left to go
Every ounce of marrow
Drained from my soul
Impossible to dream
That I’ll ever be whole
That smile on my face
Is a crumbling façade
Like Alfred E. Neuman
I pretend it isn’t odd
Just another day for
A stumbling, bumbling fraud
Defeated and depleted
Nowhere left to go
Every ounce of marrow
Drained from my soul
Impossible to dream
That I’ll ever be whole
At the end of my rope
And hanging by a thread
I could’ve had love
I chose freedom instead
Still, it’s nice to know
I’ll feel better when I’m dead
Defeated and depleted
Nowhere left to go
Every ounce of marrow
Drained from my soul
Impossible to dream
That I’ll ever be whole
