Happiness Is A Lifetime Away

Blessed was I just the other day,
Now happiness is a lifetime away

Drink champagne and toast your glass,
You will see only distortions of kingdom's past,
And in your head no dreams will ever last,
As you head out the door in your fabled mask,
You stammer down the steps to the sidewalk,
With a bottle in your hand, carving in chalk,
Never considering where others may walk,
You suffocate in the talons of wayward hawks

Blessed was I just the other day,
Now happiness is a lifetime away

Before you know just where you'll land,
You see the feathers they caught held in their hands,
Relying on winds to make curves in the sand,
All the while carving out where you stand,
A trap door was hidden amongst the stars,
Just when you thought that you would go so far,
And just when you found constilations bizarre,
The moon is sinking deeper into cosmic tar

Blessed was I just the other day,
Now happiness is a lifetime away
