Our Lady Peace - Happiness... Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch Album Lyrics

Take these plastic people
Read their lips, now let it linger
Is there anything that makes them sound sincere?
Tightly hold your hand
Take a deep breath, give them the finger
Are you worried
That your thoughts are not quite clear?
(Twitch)
Overlooked, unfit appearance

I remember falling
I remember marching
Like a one man army
Through the blaze
I know I'm coughing
I believe in something
I don't want to remember falling
For their lies

Unbutton your clothes
Undress your soul, show them your vigor
Are those inhibitions easiest to fear?
Take this gasoline tin
Head up high, walk like a winner
Let the bare feet be the last sound that they hear

I confess
Everyone is overweight
And I'm obsessed
Talking is just masturbating
Without the mess
Addiction leaves you sad today and unimpressed
I can't remember all the names

Everyone you meet today
Is just so f*cking vain

Bored again by happiness
And all those friends, I've lost in there

I'm upset
Happiness is not a fish
That you can catch
Imagination can't resist
The laziness
That pins you down, get on your knees

Everyone you meet
Is feeling useless and ashamed

Bored again by happiness
And all those friends I've lost in, oh oh oh

Everyone you meet
Is feeling useless and ashamed

Bored again by happiness
And all those friends I've lost in there

But I want to remember
But I want to forget this
But I won't forget for long
But I want to remember
But I want to forget this
But I only forget for long

And lost in this

We live, we die
I don't know the reasons we ask why
We hate, we push
Recent tests show we are all misunderstood

Something's seizing
You know you lost your mind
You know we all need saving
She found you late last night
You feel the madness gaining
You know you just can't win
You know this
But I'm just so tired of waking up on the ground
I never knew the girl
And I never knew the world hurt

We beg, we pray
But everything still happens anyway
Something's teasing
Your conscience can't decide
She stopped your will from caving
But left you paranoid

You feel the constant straining
She reappears divine
You noticed
But I'm just so tired of waking up all alone

Lately I can't breathe
Waiting they're chasing me
No one listens but i'm ok with it

Only I wonder why
If only my hands weren't tied

The world's a blister
But i'm ok with it

What if I was there
What if I was scared
I'm waiting for...

They're at my door
But I'll be back again

Lonely, I'm wandering
Patrolling for enemies
No one listens but I'm ok with it

Goodbye, the future's sold out
There's no use screaming
Who thought we'd ever get this far
Tonight, your faith has come down

To money & a TV
Psychics who've never been to Mars
And nazis breast feeding
I know you must be upset

I can't find meaning
I'm sorry, we're sorry
We're all scared, all scared

Hey, is anybody home
Has anybody wasted tears on
The loneliness
That everyone becomes

Goodnight, the truth has come out
Everyone's needy
White teeth, a ticket to meet God

Be all that you envy
The shotgun under your bed has
Started breathing
You shot it, you shot it
I'm bare, I'm bare

Hey, is anybody home
Has anybody painted fear
On the bedroom walls that save us from . . .

Hit the ground
Weighed down again
You walked out
But I'm sure you're my friend

It must have been good
This can't be for good
Everyone's, oh
Is everyone okay?

I waited, oh I, oh I
Waited, oh I, oh I
Oh, I must be too dumb to be proud
'Cause I waited, waited, hey, oh I

Woke to sounds
Prayed you were there
Fell back down
But I'm sure you still care

It must have been good, oh
This can't be for good
Everything's, oh
Is everything okay?

I waited, oh I, oh I
Waited, oh I, oh I
Oh, I must be too dumb to be proud
'Cause I waited, waited, hey, oh I
Waited, waited, hey, oh I

Oh, I must have been bored in our town and I
I must have been bored

Waited, oh I, oh I
Waited, oh I, oh I
Oh, I must be too dumb to be proud
'Cause I waited, waited, hey, oh I
Waited, waited, hey, oh I
Waited, waited, hey, oh I
Waited, waited, hey, oh I

I don't want to understand this horror
There's a weight in your eyes
I can't admit
Everybody ends up here in bottles
But the name tag's the last thing you wanted

As the world explodes
We fall out of it
And we can't let go
Because this will not go away
There's a house built out in space

I can't see that thief
That lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at
The side of you bed
I don't know what's happening
And I can't pretend
But I can be your, be your

Someone help us understand
Who ordered this disgusting
Arrangement, time and the end
I don't want to hear who walked
On water, because the hallways are empty
And the clocks tick

As the world implodes
We fall into it
And we can't go home
Because this will not go away
There's a house built out in space

I can't see that thief
That lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at
The side of you bed
I don't know what's happening
And I can't pretend

It's a long, long get away
It's a long, long get away
Make it home again
Make it home again
It's a long, long get away
It's a long, long get away

I can't see that thief
That lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at
The side of you bed
I don't know what's happening
And I can't pretend
But I can be your, be your

I'm here to wear you out
I'm here to watch you hide
Nothing to figure out
I'm here to watch you die
Running away from the breast of
Your busy giant healing machine

Nobody left in line
Noone to make you shine
Hanging on to the backs of opinions
You're borrowed & betrayed

Lying awake
Don't ask why you should pay for this
A mother
Another
A shameless abusing
But this time we're saving you
I'm here to break you down
I'm here to bury time
Nothing to talk about
Nothing to change my mind

You're a little bit shy
A little too quiet
You're the mixed up girl
That everybody leaves behind
A little bit weird
A little too bright
But you just might be
That little bomb at their side
They'll pull your hair
They'll leave you wide-eyed
But did anybody wonder
What Annie might have in mind
Oh, no

There's something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, I exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
Something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful
Annie dreams that everyone is dead

You're a little bit dry
A little uptight
You're the messed up girl
That everybody tries to hide
You've had enough
They're too unkind
But did anyone consider
What Annie might have in mind
Oh, no

Something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, I exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
Something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful
Annie dreams that everyone is dead

Something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, I exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
Something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful
Annie dreams that everyone is dead

Something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, I exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
Something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful
Annie dreams that everyone is dead
Everyone is dead
Everyone is dead
Everyone is dead
Everyone is dead
Everyone is dead

Take all your pills
And divide them by color and size
And take all your problems
Advise them everything's fine
And since you ran away
You've been beating your habits to death
And if you were to stay
Would you feel this white happiness?

Nobody wants to harm you when you're outside
But it's hard to believe when everyone's killing time
But somebody knows you're just not laughing
You're not laughing
High

Take all your pills
And divide them by number and might
And take all your problems
Chastise them, everything's nice
Since you ran away
You've been beating them ladders instead
And if you were to stay would you feed them with violence

And nobody wants to harm you when you're outside
But it's hard to believe when everyone's killing time
But somebody knows you're just not laughing
You're not laughing

Nobody wants to harm you when you're outside
But it's hard to believe when everyone's killing time
But somebody knows you're just not laughing
You're not laughing, you're not laughing
You're not laughing

High, high, high

I'm teething on answers you're saving
How ya gonna make me sleep again
While I'm dreaming you're stealing babies
When ya gonna to make me understand
Why? How should I say I'm so sorry
How should I pray to know that we're alive

Eve stands alone
By the knock on the door
By the thin in her bones
She's courageous and loving
Exhausted and cold
She's not ready to go
So the ghost on the phone
Helps her safely to her dream

You're leaving pieces of family
How ya gonna help them understand
While I'm screaming you're stealing babies
Why you want to knock us down again
Why? How should I say I'm so sorry
How should we pray and make us feel alive

Eve stands alone
By the knock on the door
By the thin in her bones
She's courageous and loving
Exhausted and cold
She's not ready to go
So the ghost on the phone
Helps her safely to her dream

It must be our egos
It must be my lack
Of faith that it might not come back

It must be our egos
It must be my lack
Of faith that it might not come back

I've been waiting again
I've waited again
I've been waiting again
I've waited
