Curse You - An Ode

Curse you for smiling when everything's wrong

When I’m frightened and friendless and just don't belong

You pick me up and you drag me along

Curse you for smiling when everything's wrong

And

Curse you for laughing when nothing is fun

When our whole fucking future is coming undone

When existence is pain and the darkness has won

You shrug it off and you wait for the sun

Curse you for laughing when nothing is fun

And

Curse you for singing when I lose the tune

When I sit and squander the warm afternoon

When failure leaves me a broken buffoon

When clouds hide the sun and envelop the moon

You swear the morning will come again soon

Curse you for singing when I lose the tune

And

Curse you for having such beautiful eyes

Though I gaze upon them from shameful disguise

Though nobody answers my desperate cries

Though solitude sours the sweetest surprise

Though all of my hopes meet a bitter demise

You hold me up with your little white lies

(You’re just enough reason to keep me alive)

Curse you for having such beautiful eyes
