Lost In Joy

🀣😭🀣😭🀣😭

Who’d understand our tears?

Who’d think we weren’t our kindness?

Who’d guess our joy was a void paradise?

ꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎ

Please forget the sad old days

Sadness is but vanity

Every body’s lost in joy

Happiness is a young monster

ꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎ

We laughed because no one could understand tearing eyes

Our smiles killed us inside

Young humans

Sweetly disappearing on ecstasy

ꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎ

Since happiness is our sadness shallow

Our world is full of shadows

Endless reflections of the nullity that we’ve become

ꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎ

Transparent bodies

Apparent faces

Perfect silhouettes

Dark

Even darker when lights are on

ꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎ

Smiley face is beautiful

That’s what my lovers said

When I find no words, I laugh instead

My void paradise is for my lovers

And my heart, a thick flame in my gothic bed

ꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎꝎ

When crying is time wasting

We laugh to chase away fade faces

We can’t handle other people’s pain

Sadness is a river that flows inside brains

😭🀣🀣😭🀣😭🀣😭🀣😭🀣😭🀣😭🀣😭🀣
