Gladly

Look straight at me and just try to say something you mean
I'm a puppet tied up stuffed with anxiety
No, I won't go to dinner, you won't watch me eat
In five years, you'll still wonder if I have real feet

Far too many a time I have seen my mom cry
More than you I presume 'cause your dad didn't die
So I'll tell you the secret to staying alive
You just laugh and cry harder and scream to survive

Don't you know how to make me happy?
You let me weep and you do so gladly

Follow me as I tread water and start to believe
That I'm floating above all these monstrosities
On your left you'll see colors that don't yet exist
On your right is the home to all lone pacifists

Far below is the black hole that wants me to drown
And the bad things I've done that always stick around
In your mind, dear is something that you cannot hold
It's a world and you'll have it until you grow old

Don't you know how to make me happy?
You let me weep and you do so gladly

Don't keep me sweet and toss out the rest
Even though it's what you do best
You can't keep me sweet and toss out the rest
I'll never stop making a mess

Don't you know how to make me happy?
You let me weep and you do so gladly
