Happy Death Day!

Happy Death Day!
by Michael Doyle

Splitting hangover starts the day
Again and again in instant replay
You're certain you have been here before
From what's seen, you don't need thinking any more

Despite appearances, you won't feel better tomorrow
Your two choices are either fear or sorrow
As life grinds you down to your last breath
This day is a celebration of your belated death

Happy Death Day!
Happy Death Day!
If you're feeling lucky, you've missed
The invitation that leaves you kissed

Happy Death Day!
Happy Death Day!
You keep on searching behind the curtains
But this life will only keep you hurting

The pain you feel is caused by yourself
You won't find the answers on any shelf
With what you've been through, you should be dead
This day keeps running on through your head

It's like an alley of broken dreams
Your sanity is coming apart at its seams
It's that universal idiocy of equilibrium
That becomes its own disordered delirium

Happy Death Day!
Happy Death Day!
If you're feeling lucky, you've missed
The invitation that leaves you kissed

Happy Death Day!
Happy Death Day!
You keep on searching behind the curtains
But this life will only keep you hurting
