Impatience rattles its chain, pride's predicting rain
Hope is closing the blinds, fear comes knocking again
Its pistols at high noon for luck and misfortune
As tension starts counting from ten
Happiness is a promise you can't trust
Decent lives are hard to lead before the dust
And ashes and stone, as the rust fills your bones
Happiness, this time stick around
Or just leave me alone
Denial gathers his thoughts and starts changing his mind
Contentment stares at the clock, he's running outta time
Jealousy sneers, checks himself in the mirror
And reckons he's looking alright
Happiness is a promise you can't trust
Decent lives are hard to lead before the dust
And ashes and stone, as the rust fills your bones
Happiness, this time stick around
Or just leave me alone
And love is waiting here at home for you
Beggin please, send some relief
Because friendliness is just loneliness for two
Happiness is a promise you can't trust
Decent lives are hard to lead before the dust
And ashes and stone, as the rust fills your bones
Happiness, this time stick around...
