"Gladly" lyrics

Look straight at me and just
Try to say something you mean
I'm a puppet tied up
Stuffed with anxiety

No I won't go to dinner
You won't watch me eat
In five years you'll still
Wonder if I have real feet

Far too many a time
I have seen my mom cry
More than you, I presume
'Cause your dad didn't die

So I'll tell you the secret
To staying alive
You just laugh and cry harder
And scream to survive

Don't you know
How to make me happy
You let me weep
And you do so gladly

Follow me as I tread water
And start to believe
That I'm floating above
All these monstrosities

On your left you'll see colors
That don't yet exist
On your right is the home
To all lone pacifists

Far below is the black hole
That wants me to drown
And the bad things I've done
That always stick around

In your mind, dear, is
Something that you cannot hold
It's a world and you have it
Until you grow old

Don't you know
How to make me happy
You let me weep
And you do so gladly

Don't keep me sweet
And toss out the rest
Even though
It's what you do best
You can't keep me sweet
And toss out the rest
I'll never stop
Making a mess

Don't you know
How to make me happy
You let me weep
And you do so gladly
