Yeah... peek through the grime... see the smile... unsettlingly simple, ain't it? (ooo wooo) Don't ask how... just... is. For the moment. (Verse 1) Got 'em bound up tight, triple-bolted steel, lead-lined walls Deep inside the psyche, where the sanity crawls Built a fortress, yeah, a cage of bone and fear Stuff I keep inside? Trust me, you don't wanna hear Costs a soul, yeah, just to stand up straight and breathe To walk among the living, gotta weave Got the keys clenched TIGHT, knuckles white as bone These ain't house pets, nah, these are things from the unknown... Yeah, the air is thick molasses, filled with things that sting But lookin' at the surface, hear the simple tune I sing... (Chorus) Man, I'm just being happy now (ooo wooo) Keeping the things I buried deep somehow Got 'em locked, got 'em caged, no way they breakin' thru Yeah, I'm just being happy now (ooo wooo) Got the chains cinched tight, the silence is my vow Yeah, I'm just being happy now (ooo wooo) (Verse 2) Hear 'em scratchin' on the walls, behind the plaster bare Whispers like grave-dirt risin', fillin' up the air They promise power, promise pain, a sweet release of dread Tryna trick the locks, messin' with my head One ripped free, a primal, tearing sound! Tried to drag me underground, where the rot is found! Shoved it back inside, reinforced the seals you see Cost a piece of somethin'... somethin' used to be Taste of rust and fear, the only flavor feels When you wrestle demons down, bindin' them with steels... (Chorus) Man, I'm just being happy now (ooo wooo) Keeping the things I buried deep somehow Got 'em locked, got 'em caged, no way they breakin' thru Yeah, I'm just being happy now (ooo wooo) Got the chains cinched tight, the silence is my vow Yeah, I'm just being happy now (ooo wooo) (Bridge) Maybe one day, yeah... the darkness fades away... Seein' colors, feelin' warmth of a brilliant day... Sunshine spillin' over, washin' clean the stains... But right now? Nah... just the weight of these damn chains... Yeah, it's been the night sky... forever and a day... Yeah, it's been the night sky... forever and a day... Actin' normal, tryin' hard to find the brighter way... Just survivin'... minute by minute... breath by breath... Keepin' the cage solid... wardin' off the final death... of somethin'... (Chorus) Man, I'm just being happy now (ooo wooo) Keeping the things I buried deep somehow Got 'em locked, got 'em caged, no way they breakin' thru Yeah, I'm just being happy now (ooo wooo) Got the chains cinched tight, the silence is my vow Yeah, I'm just being happy now (ooo wooo)
