Healthy/Happy

First day in, I'm gonna start counting, keep me from wonder and lying to myself. I can spend all day doing nothing, and still question my pain. I'm nowhere near healthy, but what's considered healthy? I'm nowhere near happy, I can't find that place.
Don't want to do this today,
But I'm too many miles from my bed.
Can we please go back home?
Or somewhere that's not so loud.
I'm hiding feelings again
And I've got no stories to tell
Today was uneventful
And I can't stop lying to you
Not feeling inspirational
So how am I to heal you?
I'm so hopless all the time
And I'm just blank behind my eyes
I can't stop doing nothing with my time,
Can't stop doing nothing with my time.
I've done nothing with my day,
Wasted time that others could have.
Don't want to do this today
But nothing's stopping me
I've such desire to go home
And leave my opportunities.
I'm hiding feelings again
And I've got no stories to tell
Today was uneventful
And I can't stop lying to you
Not feeling inspirational
So how am I to heal you?
I'm so hopless all the time
And I'm just blank behind my eyes.

You're not good
Tell me the truth
I've seen those eyes
Countless times
If it helps
I'm not good
You've seen me try
Countless nights
You're just an abuser
With no way to lose her
She looks at you fondly
Can't see how you're ugly
I thought you did good
But only helping yourself won't sort your mood
You've got the clean up to fix
But don't expect my input
Don't want to be part of it
Can you tell that I'm over it
You're pretty scum when you think of it
Mental state shouldn't take part in it
A false image of suffering, you drew it
You're just an abuser
With no way to lose her
She looks at you fondly
Can't see how you're ugly

Oh fragrant love
I've wanted you so long
You came at the right time
I've just came from hiding
Kindest one, you help me shine
Waiting's so awful when you've got no one
Tell me slowly, is this the right time?
I've got some devils and they're waiting in line
I've wanted you so long
You came at the right time
Thought you would never arise
I don't want to waste away
Without you

Stress, makes perfect sense
In a world that can afford to lose so many
Distress, makes much more sense
When my loved ones drop an give up their best
We're left, in a world that cannot help us
Just older generations, who don't really get us
Too young, for anyone to listen
Too old, so people think we're whinging
Pleasure, there's no such thing
When we just sit and destroy everything
I've been too angry now it's boring me
All I want to do is disappear quietly.
They'll tell us to be man again
But I'm so sick of all these mannequins
I don't want to be man again
I'm just a boy who dreams of being hidden

Why's it so difficult to step outside
Live my day and not have to hide?
Daylight makes it harder
When night time's so kind, it's so kind
It's not gonna stop today
At least it feels that way
(Why can't I
Take the time
To help myself
And clean my mind?)
"That is what depression does, it overpowers you, it takes the wheel and steers you away from everyone and everything you love and it takes you down a dark tunnel. And when you're in that tunnel it hugs you and tells you that this is where you're supposed to belong."
It's not gonna stop today
At least it feels that way
(Why can't I
Take the time
To help myself
And clean my mind?)

Took a walk, outside
Been a few days, and I'm scared of everyone
Don't need told, that it's stupid
But it's in my head, that everyone does wrong
Everyone does wrong.
Until life gives us colour
I'll sleep with monochromatic nightmares
Until I shine a bit brighter
I'll know there's nothing to keep me here
Until life gives us colour
Fuck, is it really that hard
To just live and be kind?
I've forgotten what it's like
To meet someone genuine.
Until life gives us colour
I'll sleep with monochromatic nightmares
Until I shine a bit brighter
I'll know there's nothing to keep me here
Until life gives us colour

Your Best Possible Life

"it's the same idea
life is suffering
right
indisputable
what do you do about that?
you voluntarily accept it
and then strive to overcome the suffering that's
a consequence of that
and you do that for you
and you do that in a way that make it
better for other people and then
that works."
"no one can tell you
how it will work for you
your destiny is to discover that
you have to make your decisions to begin with
it's like,
because you can't do this without commitment
i'm going to act as if i should pursue
the deepest meaning possible in my life
this is gonna kill you
why not make it the
best possible thing you can do?"
