No Happiness

Happiness is just a dream
We follow the current like boats on a stream
Hoping to reach the promised land
To lay on the soft beaches of sand

But its just a creation of the mind
Yet we are unwilling to accept what we find
So we keep going, time after time
Instead of cutting the search off in its prime

We relish in the light
Thinking we have found true delight
But for every sunny day, a storm isn't far behind
That's just the way this was all designed

A simple trick we all fall for
Thinking we are in the clouds, only to awake on the floor
A false hope that we put our hearts into
Not caring what this will come to

But there comes a time when you open your eyes
And realize that all of these hopes, are nothing but lies
The stream will run dry, your boat will break
And all of your broken delusions will cause your heart to ache

As you stand there, your delusion broken
All of your wishes lay unspoken
But what's the point of wishing upon a star
When it's just as dead as your dreams are
