lyrics

through streets the people quiver
one's bent over and I hear through a whisper
"why'd they have to be so bitter?
they need to consider, really need to consider
how this makes them all feel."

i feel so fragile and i feel so drained.
i can't see how they do it but i won't surrender.
by this time next summer, the sky will brighten
and i won't be stepping in these mortal fears.

kill me, what's one more day to make things more real?
bring me, closer to you so I can finally feel

through the fog, through the aggravation
i see you standing near, telling me not to fear.
"look around, see the answer.
It's not hidden in numbers, not found in spinning wheels,
nor can be solved by another."

But how could I slip and watch them feast on unhappy?
Everyone needs some joy, for them I'd sacrifice my own.
How could I sleep at night knowing
that I'm the only one who can touch the wind?

kill me, what's one more day to make things more real?
bring me, closer to you so I can finally feel

(and you...) i've been so blind and callose.
(you...) i've learned such ignorance.
(and you...) tried so hard to force this device, forgot all along about you.
(you...) forgot what it all really means. forgotten how you make me feel. what is this worth anyway?

you always have been, and always will be my Happiness Machine, from now and forever more.
