There's only so much we're designed to handle
A limit to our strength, the capacity to survive
With a smile for every day and every occasion
Then when someone asks, "Hey friend, how have
Things been going for you, is all right with
Your world, and are you happy?"
It's hard to not struggle for breath
And reply with the straightest of faces
In a cheery tone of imperfect concealment
That life is nothing but bliss and contentment
No hassles at all, to plague or beleaguer
After some idle chit chat, a while of useless
Exchanges, crawl back home, home into bed
Bed and just cry, cry, cry
Because there's no drive, drive, drive
And all that's left to do
Is cry
Cry
Cry
