I am painting my nights with happy lies 
Relishing in my distorted sense of reality 
Grasping onto a version of my life
That was painted and created as a means of escape 
Escape from the reality 
Escape from what’s real
Created from the lies that I’ve told myself 
I’m happy 
I’m fine 
Painted to make my days and nights seem joyful 
Painted with happy lies I tell myself 
So I don’t notice how truly sad I am 
Painted with happy lies 
So that anyone looking in 
Will see this fabricated happy version that’s been created for all to see


I am painting my nights with happy lies 
In order to hide the sad truths
