Maimed Happiness

It's a maimed happiness I keep trying to acquiesce It's like a tempestuous child You play with and humor to keep Quiet as you possibly can 'Til finally it goes to sleep Life takes a lot of finesse It's a maimed happiness Keep myself to every way Both refined and uncouth Then maybe once in a while I can be with the truth Don't know if there's that much to be said For this world or the time that we spend I doubt that I'd wanna live This wasted life over again Yeah, I been to the doctor He said there ain't much he could do "You got the human condition Boy, I feel sorry for you" There's a sorrowful joy I've known since I was a boy Joyful sorrow I guess It's a maimed happiness
