Happiness Becomes the Norm

from I Can Sincerely Say I've Tried by Jake Gussman

lyrics

I wanted to be wading into deeper waters but you always gotta check the coastI remember the moment, the clouds as they came
The distance from everything as they took my reason all away
Suddenly I felt like I was alone watching the new growth as they became decay

Couldn’t tell you the reason, why things went astray
My insecurities caught up with me just when I really thought I got away

It chases me down again [x3]
It chases me down

And it always feels the same, it always feels the same
It always feels the same, I hate it.
But it always goes away, it always goes away
It always goes away, I’m waiting

Something is missing; I hope the bottom is close
I don’t know whether this is heaven or hell but for me it’s a little bit of both
I only want to understand the life I’m living but the future seems to be a ghost
Motivations eroding, I started feeling alone
When sanity becomes a fragile thing are you the parasite or are you the host?
