Happiness Is Lonely - ill-esha

it’s not easy being happy, I never knew that

it was such a lonesome drive.

I always thought that

I’d be connected with so many

if I just learned to find the joy in being aliveBut misery loves company,

us fools do suffer

And somehow pleasure bleeds out from the pain

And as my heart grows ever light, my lovers seem as quick to fade

I’ve never been so open, and I must admit I’m just a tad dismayedThe more that

we bring it

The more to our own selves we are true

The more it becomes abundantly clear

That’s not how most souls here do

Can we love without expectation?

Can we breathe right in this sensation?

Why are we so afraid of things being okay?

every day I wake up laughing, just wish that I knew

someone intimate to share

the life of breathless childlike wonder one cultivates

when life is lived with passion under open air

misery loves company, us fools do suffer

but pleasure can be had without pain

and if i do just one thing in this life, i wanna change as many minds as i can

learn to illuminate these perfect flamesThe more that we bring it

The more to our own selves we are true

The more it becomes abundantly clear

This takes a damn strong soul to do

So i love without expectation

I breathe right into this sensation

And i know that someday i’ll spark that perfect flame
