Feigning Joy Songtext
von Down and Out

I grip my chest through shallow breaths
Forget the rest, it′s in my head

I did what I told to
Though I didn't think it wise
Watched everything I wanted
Flash right before my eyes
Now I know
The seeds I sew
Will never grow

Got what I need, I′m still empty inside
I'm still trapped and helpless with nowhere to hide
Exposed in the open and now I'm just hoping
For a change to make my dreams come true
To make my dreams come true
To make my dreams come true

This recurrence bites my heels
The time I have is time I steal


But her silhouette painted on my bedroom wall
It makes me smile, at least for a while
Hold me again
Can we pretend
That I′m ok

Got what I need, I′m still empty inside
I'm still trapped and helpless with nowhere to hide
Exposed in the open and now I′m just hoping
For a change to make my dreams come true
It's all I ever wanted, am I asking too much
Leaning on my friends, turned them into a crutch
Feigning joy again while I count back from ten
How did I end up this way
How did I end up this way
How did I end up this way

How did I find myself back in this place
This same situation, this shit on my face
Now I′m looking around, plant my feet on the ground
And I won't be happy until I make myself miserable


Got what I need, I′m still empty inside
I'm still trapped and helpless with nowhere to hide
Exposed in the open and now I'm just hoping
For a change to make my dreams come true
It′s all I ever wanted, am I asking too much
Leaning on my friends, turned them into a crutch
Feigning joy again while I count back from ten
How did I end up this way
How did I end up this way
How did I end up this way
