the sunset has a warm orange hue
and my eyes are stuck to it like glue
i could lie here forever
content in my foolish endeavour  

unable to feel worry
for the first time in forever i feel happy
conscious enough to cry
and sure enough a tear falls from my eye

tipsy is where you'll find me,

looking through the lens of happy

all we did was argue
but still I ******* loved you
we couldn't speak - we screamed
you yelled then I yelled too

we threw dishes instead of saying sorry
but it was always the same story

you were raised rich and passive
i was raised middle class and aggressive

our views will never be the same
but still neither one of us is willing to end this game

                          you hang up the phone with an i love you
                           and as stubborn as i am i know i do too

i like to fantasize about life on the other side
                                                  and hold a gun to my head for fun
i don’t actually want to die
                            but day dreaming is my escape when i have none

I constantly maul over life's fragility
                               and contemplate the soul's infinity

I'm broken hearted at lyrics written by troubled musicians
                                                and am a slave to my own superstitions

I’m in love with the feeling of pure bliss
            The only time and place where I may find complete happiness

Free from all my self loathing and delusions
                       not consumed by my thoughts or irrational conclusions

hand me a pill or a sip of white liquor
                              let my worries and doubts flicker

Though the pain may arise again with the sun
                             in the moonlight, let the toxins in my veins run

call me a cynic
but I'm unsure If I believe in the parting seas
call me a dreamer
but I believe there's more than the eye sees

little girl, please stay young
please stay happy, please stay dumb

But i hate you
