My Happy Wall

from Yestermorrow by Jim Higgins

/

lyrics

In a graveyard
Upon a headstone
The one true epitaph I’ve seen
It said: Here lies a waste of time
A picture-perfect could-have-been
Like it was pointing at me

I draw the curtains
And break the mirrors
And take my seat in the last row
I close my eyes, bury my head
The more I hide, the less I know
But I’m still respirating

What is real
Won’t break bread
With a mind lost in make-believe
And so life goes on
Behind my happy wall

Upon a mantle
An urn of ashes
A life reduced to useless dust
A good reminder
To keep those blinders
The less I hide, the more I rust
The blissful ignorance works

Works just fine
In the grand plan
Of keeping the wolves at bay
‘Cause my mind
Won’t make peace
With the real and the fantasy
And my time here
Just ebbs and falls
But life’s just grand
Behind my happy wall
