176 Happiness is not a Thing

from Dorm Room Grooves by Muhamad Khalid

lyrics

Stuck in-between meaning, emptiness, what is and isn't
I'm deserving, still learning the unforgettable, the unknowable, I am everything
but luck didn't screen screaming, stuck in me-ness, what was and wasn't
tides turning, lines blurring the regrettable, the insatiable, I don't matter

As a matter of fact, fact gets me madder
an act just to flatter, I no longer wish to think
I think I want to be. be quite beneath the leaves
leave me and you will see, the sea's waves are made by me
I am everything.
Everything is also me

But not today
today is gone, given to the night.
the way is wrong, eating whats right
Today is yesterday which is not me
a memory, a figment of imagination
stationed in the backdrop of my mind
I don't mind. I'll be nothing for tonight.
I gave up on double meanings, I had trouble finding just one.

Playing with guitars, undeserving noize, it still doesn't mean a thing
hungry for peace in beats and breaks, not ready for when it stings
straying from par, swerving ploys, happiness is not a thing
