Happy Birthday Who

(Album: Manticore - 2022)

I wasn't born to be anything
When people pass me they look at the ground
This is just temporary
Since the hospital closed down

I came here in the 80s
Today's my birthday
Can I have five dollars
How do you like my town

The weather here is perfect
It hardly ever rains
Someone took my shoes
While I was dreaming of your face

Happy birthday
I'm living in a dream
My head is like an earthquake
And it's ripping at the seam

There are people in my head
Some are nice but most are mean
They're giving me advice
While I'm walking down the street

They tell me to make faces
They tell me to scream
But they mostly say I'm worthless
And I don't deserve a thing

But I'm stretched out in the park
The kids are playing chase
Someone took my shoes
While I was dreaming of your face

Happy birthday
Who was it that I was?
But I'm singing like a toothache
And I'm smiling just because

Happy birthday
I'm living in a dream
(Happy birthday, ha)
