Lyrics

Depression.

I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet
but my fear of taking another heavy breath
as the merciless lightning hits
during my perpetual and pointless naps
is painfully endured
how I despise with a passion
the asexual atheist
driving the ice cream truck
as the sting of eerie music
increases the ominous
underwater movement of my tired life

I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet
I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet

The quest for quiet solitude in a field
of crabgrass and two-headed lizards
seems unattainable as I lay in bed
observing the lava flow
of my cottage-cheese ceiling
I relish my fatigue
while a child's laughing toy mocks me
and continues its' perpetual screaming
as I pray for silence

I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet
I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet
I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet
I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet

The effortless waterfall of money and love
passes me, for I am on the slow motion path
of avaoiding the pratical and stable alarms
while avoiding cofidence and faith
for the artist in me
can only hear the morbid symphony
of dreadful raindrops

I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet
I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet
I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet
I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet
I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet

I could be joyous
like the fleas in my carpet
