Happy People

We all look like a bunch of happy people around each other But inside we got these demons that we facing Quick to lie and smile to a stranger when they ask me how I'm doing I said everything's amazing Well we know that's not the case and there's a lot that's on my plate But I won't waste your time so let me not explain it You see even though I'm hurting I know people got it worse So I don't wanna make it sound like I'm complaining I remember when I worked this super market job And just had dreams of being big in entertainment I used to work with this kid John he'd always put my music on And gas me up and tell me how I'm gonna make it Every time I saw him man the dude just seemed so happy And we always had some awesome conversations It really hit me by surprise when John had overdosed and died I didn't know he fought addiction fuck that's crazy RIP I know you're barely hanging on And lately you've been lonely I know it's been a really long road And you feel a little broken But you gotta keep hanging on Cuz this is only a moment And when you're feeling like you don't belong You're not alone just keep on hoping Eric Works a job he doesn't like and needs some time to decompress Barely picks the head up off the pillow now cuz he depressed Leaves to fill his medication bottle up at CVS But you would never tell he going through it Am I happy are you happy? that's the question if you ask me Got a million different things that I can do that will distract me from it Some of us get high and some just hide behind an avi Some can't focus in on nothing til they pop a couple addys All these deeply rooted issues they're all tough to explain I understand how it's easy just to run from the pain And as life takes its toll it really fucks with your brain So over time it just gets harder now to function the same I know it None of it is simple we could only imagine Some days I'm at the crib probably overreacting Writing sad songs about it shit you know how it happens I try listening and showing compassion I know you're barely hanging on And lately you've been lonely I know it's been a really long road And you feel a little broken But you gotta keep hanging on Cuz This is only a moment And when you're feeling like you don't belong You're not alone just keep on hoping Eric Works a job he doesn't like and needs some time to decompress Barely picks the head up off the pillow now cuz he depressed Leaves to fill his medication bottle up at CVS But you would never tell he going through it
