You wanna be happy

you wanna be happy
but you don't even try
just dig up the ashes
and fill up the sky

and smoke curled edges
won't let me breath
dig up the lies buried in my dreams
storm clouds swirl
a mile or more high

but the rain won't come
if you never cry
the breeze won't blow
all the ashes away
why did you dig things up.....today

My voice hangs ragged
just like my dreams
I preach to the choir
with words I don't mean

You wanna be happy
but when you actually try
you cut off your wings
and fall down from the sky
