Happy People

We all look like a bunch of happy people around each other

But inside we got these demons that we facing

Quick to lie and smile to a stranger when they ask me how I'm doing

I said everything's amazing

Well we know that's not the case and there's a lot that's on my plate

But I won't waste your time so let me not explain it

You see even though I'm hurting I know people got it worse

So I don't wanna make it sound like I'm complaining

I remember when I worked this super market job

And just had dreams of being big in entertainment

I used to work with this kid John he'd always put my music on

And gas me up and tell me how I'm gonna make it

Every time I saw him man the dude just seemed so happy

And we always had some awesome conversations

It really hit me by surprise when John had overdosed and died

I didn't know he fought addiction fuck that's crazy RIP

I know you're barely hanging on

And lately you've been lonely

I know it's been a really long road

And you feel a little broken

But you gotta keep hanging on

Cuz this is only a moment

And when you're feeling like you don't belong

You're not alone just keep on hoping

Eric Works a job he doesn't like and needs some time to decompress

Barely picks the head up off the pillow now cuz he depressed

Leaves to fill his medication bottle up at CVS

But you would never tell he going through it

Am I happy are you happy? that's the question if you ask me

Got a million different things that I can do that will distract me from it

Some of us get high and some just hide behind an avi

Some can't focus in on nothing til they pop a couple addys

All these deeply rooted issues they're all tough to explain

I understand how it's easy just to run from the pain

And as life takes its toll it really fucks with your brain

So over time it just gets harder now to function the same I know it

None of it is simple we could only imagine

Some days I'm at the crib probably overreacting
