Happy Again
Brendan Devitt
Every night I just lay here like I’m dying
Tell me what I’m supposed to do
You can be cruel, so dilletante
There’s something wrong in my life
When you look at me that way
My petals all fall away
When I am stuck in your gaze
I’m the one who knows who you are
And what you do to me
And all the tarot cards and the self-help books
Don’t show me the inner light
Not for $5.95
And now I’m battling with
The empty secret void between my eyes
Try to teach her ‘bout the way I perceive
The kind of thing I like tonight is you
