"How To Be Happy" lyrics

"How To Be Happy"

I don't think I'm really qualified
To give you what you want
I wear a smile like
I'm putting clothes on
I am Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll is a fraud
Smile slides off when I'm done with my job
Zoning out, pretend I'm listening
It's getting hard to fake my interest
Burning up, peel skin from my fingertips
It's getting dark, all I see is silhouettes

But I do everything they say to do
I get my sunshine, drink my water
And I eat right, breathe right
Blue lights off before bedtime
Exercise routine, airtight
Weekdays, weeknights

Every smile I see seems fake, white veneers and cheap toupees
I look for answers every day
But it doesn't matter what they say

Everybody got advice to give
Preaching how to find your happiness
But everybody's fucking full of shit
Got a lot to say but they're hypocrites
I read self-help books and I take my benzos
Swim circles in my golden fishbowl
Hide my sadness with my bad jokes
I lie, I lie like I'm Pinocchio

Advice is easier given than taken
Just look at the doctors that prescribe
The medications to patients
And tell them, wait have some patience
In 30 days you'll feel amazing
I never take them but I read the bottle
And I know information

I get it, I can comfort others and never myself
I'll be talking my friends through their problems while I'm unwell
I tell them, you're not alone
They say you don't understand
Cause they don't know
I'm actually going through the same shit as them

One day I wanna wake up, feel like brand new
With a smile on my face, full of scrap on my shoes
Feel love for myself and my life and my crew
But I need someone to tell me what to do

Every smile I see seems fake, white veneers and cheap toupees
I look for answers every day
But it doesn't matter what they say

Everybody got advice to give
Preaching how to find your happiness
But everybody's fucking full of shit
Got a lot to say but they're hypocrites
I read self-help books and I take my benzos
Swim circles in my golden fishbowl
Hide my sadness with my bad jokes
I lie, I lie like I'm Pinocchio
(Pinocchio)

I'll admit it, I'll say it, I don't know what I'm doing
I'm grinning, my head's spinning, I'm really going through it
My heart's frigid, it's hard living and hard giving
Your high spirits when I feel so damn low

So fuck what I know, when advice I could give you
'Cause fuck, I don't know
Bitch, I ain't a fucking wizard
I'm a talking lizard
Walking earth through a blizzard
Make decisions, playing rock, paper, scissors
It's a sickness in a

Cruel world, packed full of liars
Happy pills, pushed by suppliers
You see a smile, I see the tip of an iceberg
One man's treasure is another man's dumpster fire

Everybody got advice to give
Preaching how to find your happiness
But everybody's fucking full of shit
Got a lot to say but they're hypocrites
I read self-help books and I take my benzos
Swim circles in my golden fishbowl
Hide my sadness with my bad jokes
I lie, I lie like I'm Pinocchio...
