Happiness will not leave me,
I feel abandoned from grief,
the lies of ten thousand years
having filled my eyes and ears
Happiness will not leave me
I cannot believe in belief
built upon fabrications
choking joy with manipulations
Happiness will not leave me
as I giggle with a fool's grin
at the madness evolving slowly
against the batons of the holy
Happiness will not leave me
for it has become my shadow
that's not cast in darkness
but built upon the everlastings
I am free from the bonds of depression,
I merely wave my hand away at aggression
that seduces the minds strengthen by fears
while I laugh from my belly full of beers
Happiness will not leave me
with an empty look of confusion
as my spirit glows beyond confinement
ripping the lids off of defilement
No, happiness is my completeness,
joy - the maidservant of my life,
passion - the fuel that consumes me,
bliss - the blanket the covers me
Do I have any other reason to be?
