I laugh at myself outright
For having dreams and hopes
For thinking maybe,
Someday,
Just perhaps things will be good
I can step back from myself
I can count my blessings
I smile at this fact
That I see so painfully clear:
Things are bad,
Have always been bad,
And will always be bad
So why not pretend it’s good
And for a while
Put on a smile
And hide your feelings away
‘Cause we’re damned for sure
