about

Pop/bluesy feel to this one. There are a lot of people who evaluate their lives based on "Where they are" at certain points on a time line. They want what everyone else has without really asking themselves why they want that. Just following a social standard set by people who have something to gain through you buying into the "dream".

This is all well and good for some people... some people take it a step further and are not only unhappy with what they worked so hard to attain... they can't let others be happy with their own accomplishments. Fortunately I only have a handful of these people anywhere near my life and certainly don't keep them close. But it is really sad to watch someone be so unsatisfied with their own choices.

lyrics

Happy?
- R. Johnson

I know you must have your reasons
Still trying to figure you out
I've spent some time with your demons
And took an alternate route

Everyone here
Everyone knows your name
But no one's calling it out
And everyone's clear
Everyone feels the same
About you now

You got everything you want
But it's not making you happy
Pretty little victim with a smoking gun
Taking all you can from everyone
But it's not making you happy
Not making you happy
Not making you happy

Nobody's pity will save you
It's something that you've gotta want
Motives transparent & shallow
They've finally come back to haunt

And everyone here
Everyone knows your name
But no one is calling it out
And everyone's clear
Everyone feels the same
About you now

You got everything you want
But it's not making you happy
Pretty little victim with a smoking gun
Taking out your hatred on everyone
But it's not making you happy
Not making you happy
Not making you happy

Solo

Everyone here
Everyone knows your name
But no one is calling it out
Everyone's clear
Everyone feels the same
About you now

You got everything you want
But it's not making you happy
Pretty little victim with a smoking gun
Blaming all your problems on everyone
But it's not making you happy
Not making you happy

Did you wanna lose yourself
Did you wanna lose yourself
You could if you we're stronger
If you were better
If you were better
