about

Classic Absent Lips

lyrics

And I've been on my own for so long/
Sometimes it feels so wrong/
Bottled up happiness in song/
That's why it feels prolonged

So here I am once again
figuring out steps from where I began
somethings suck
some stay the same
I hate being apart of this childish game
I feel like the world is to blame
for why I have been in so much pain
and even though
no one knows my name
I still feel blessed
all the same

And I encourage your hatred
for what I created
cuz to some its related
and my smile translates as

This is what happiness sounds like
when your laying in your bed
up all night
and nothing can seem to go right
yet you still find reasons to live life
and after all the said and done
we will still see the rising sun
this is what happiness sounds like
it'll hit ya like a deer in the headlights

I dont have much to be happy about
but I am alive and breathing
and my girl isnt cheating
I look at what I have and I am cheesing

so bring it on, all the waves
cuz guess what BEACH
we can play this game
you bring the tides, I will lay in the sand
i will watch you as you cover my head
i will rise, no this is not the end
theres still so much i have to win
cuz even when, life can suck
there is still a chance to stand up

and I encourage your hatred
for what I have created
cuz to some its related,
and my smile translates as

this is what happiness sounds like...
