Story Behind The Song

Thought it would be cool to try some spoken word type poetry with music in the background and it ended up working better as a song

Song Description

In the end happiness is all we really want anyway and sometimes we just have to take a second look and reevaluate our situation

Lyrics

10 days ago I was looking for a job
And saw this fat slob cleaning the streets with a smile
And I could only wonder with a frown
Face down, listening to System of a Down
So long to the dream of peace
And the dream piece placed in my lap of luxury
I just wanted that smile
So I sing my song and hum to the tune
Of whatever tune I was just humming to
And try to concentrate on my happiness
At least my happiness in the future

This is not over, I have wings I mean to fly
Mountains of doubt that surround me
And block out the sky will fade away
At least that's what I think to myself
As I wander through the day
You know you want to
I know I want to

I have to Take 2

Is there no future in happiness or is it just now
I never saw how
How it was that this guy cleaning the streets
Could smile and laugh and never even know I was there
The Antithesis to his Avatar
So far, far away his state
In this state I can't stay, must I wait
Tell me is there a date when you can see me doc
I must weigh a million tons
With all the shit I've been feeding myself
So stuck in traffic the radio sings

This is not over, I have wings I mean to fly
Mountains of doubt that surround me
And block out the sky will fade away
At least that's what I think to myself
As I wander through the day
You know you want to
I know I want to
