Happiness Will Ruin This Place

(albüm: Belong - 2017)

A man of mostly bones
Found himself in love
And didn't know what to do

Said "All that I ever want
To be two places at once
Either way you lose"

Killing off other plans
He got into a van
And found a place in the country

Said "It's all downhill from here
Honey, don't be scared
I'm ready to be happy"

"When I close my eyes
I can see your face
I wanna know everything about you

We could grab our lives
And run away
Happiness will ruin this place"

Here in the present day
In a dark cafe
There's something large at stake

Says "All that I ever want
To be two places at once"
And pokes around in an ashtray

"Honey, can you see
Bloodstains on my teeth
I'm not the beast I used to be"

Silence intervenes
She looks up from her tea
Says "Everything goes extinct"

"When I close my eyes
I don't see your face
I don't know anything about you

Oh it's no surprise
You lost your way
Happiness will ruin this place"

Followed by a brood
Of children through the zoo
A wonder he can recognize

There's a moment where he sees
In the chimpanzees
Sympathetic eyes

"The problem that you have
You're living in a trap
Regret it eats away at you

Two places or one
There's nowhere to run
Either way you lose

I could close my eyes
But it's all too late
They don't anything about me

Oh it's no surprise
I lost my way
Happiness will ruin this place"
